Welcome

Welcome to my blog on Convent Life. I have been a religious sister, a member of the Daughters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary for over 40 years. In that time I have answered many questions about what convent life is like, why girls enter, and religious life in general. Some of the answers were funny, such as the little girl in the grocery store who points to me and asks her mom, "Mommy, what's that?" In the course of this blog I will try to answer all those questions including what "that" is, lol. If you should read this blog and have questions of your own, you have only to email me at ihmdaughters@hotmail.com and I will try to answer them for you. To begin with I will try to answer the most frequently asked questions about religious life in general, why girls go to the convent, and how to know you have a vocation to this type of life. Should you be more interested you can go to the convent website: http://www.ihmdaughters.org/ There in future you will find links to download in pdf format all the questions and answers you find here. Thank you again for your interest. Sister Mary John, I.H.M.
