Let me know if you hear back from the Zwicks. I have a month open before I start with the Jesuits, and I'm thinking of stopping to serve at a Worker house on the way... I want to go down to their place so badly, I've half convinced myself that Houston is on the way from Oregon to Maryland.
You are very close to Gethsemani from Nashville! I go to Bardstown to the SCN Motherhouse and then usually a couple of sisters and I go visit some of the monks. If you end up in Nashville, you will be close to a couple of other LJ'rs here. Is it a Catholic girls school there? St. Cecilia's?
St. Cecilia's is the place. I talked with a friend who kind of cooled me on the Nashville Dominicans, but I'm still really attracted to living in that part of the world. That is your neck of the world, huh? I'm reading all about Miss Flannery and Walker Percy in Paul Elie's book, and as a herditary Southerner, the appeal is hard to deny.
These Dominicans have a grade and high school here. They live in the bigger parish next to the one where I work. I'm about 250 miles from Nashville. The sisters I know here are A-OK. The order is probably termed 'conservative', whatever that means. I've found them to be very relational to the students, both grade and high school. I needed help getting a child of some folks in school after the start of the year and the principal of the grade school made it happen. These women have compassion. I don't know what you were told, but the women I know in the order in these parts are warm, caring and work well with the larger diocesan school and church community.
I'd definitely want to hang out with you if we went to Jezzie conferences. We could drink cocktails in the hotel bar and frequently use the word "licit."
