That's The Signpost Up Ahead — Your Next Stop, The Labyrith Zone
Ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne

I've posted many a time in the past concerning the decline of numer of priests, nuns, etc. Just the drop in belief in The Real Presence is enough to make you weep.

But this article from The California Catholic Daily pretty much says it all. Here's some of it; (Emphasis mine) “Not ready to make that commitment”
With no new vocations in 20 years, just six sisters remain at once thriving monastery

The Benedictine sisters of Holy Spirit Monastery in Grand Terrace (near San Bernardino) are experiencing what most other U.S. women’s religious orders are undergoing – its members are aging and it is receiving no new vocations. At its height, Holy Spirit Monastery had 20 members. Today, it numbers six sisters, whose average age is 70.

Holy Spirit Monastery has had no new member in 20 years. "People are not ready to make that commitment,” Sister Doris Market told the June 28 Riverside Press Enterprise. “They do something for three or four years and they want to do something else."

Holy Spirit, along with 15 other monasteries across the U.S., belongs to the Federation of St. Gertrude, which has about 900 members – half the number it had 30 years ago. According to the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate at Georgetown University, from 1965 to today, the number of nuns nationwide has dropped by about 65%, from 179,954 to 63,699. In 2004, the National Religious Retirement Office projected that by 2023 there will be just 24,036 nuns in the U.S., 79% of whom will be 75 or older.

To attract new members, the Grand Terrace Benedictines set up a web site (www.holyspiritmonastery.org), with a vocations page. The sisters offer as well “SPIRIT Live- Experience” for single Catholic women who do not take vows but wish to live in the monastery and participate in the sisters’ life. (SPIRIT stands for Seekers of Peace Intent on Reverence and Interested in Transformation.) Only one woman has jointed SPIRIT; she left after two years to care for a sick parent.

The life of the Grand Terrace sisters consists of common prayer three times a day and common meals. They no longer wear the black-and white Benedictine habit, but dress in blouses, slacks, and dresses.

The sisters have had “ministries” outside the monastery, though a few are now retired. Sister Christine-Marie Fendel, for instance, works in the Early Start Program for the San Bernardino City Unified School District. Sister Joan Marie Sasse offers workshops dealing with meditation, relaxation, and healing, for stress management. She has authored seven audiotapes on these subjects. In March and April, Sister Joan Marie offered a retreat at the monastery, teaching Neuro Linguistic Programming and the “Light of Christ,” to help retreat participants overcome “old habits” and “shift consciousness” to renew their lives.

The monastery offers other Sister Joan retreats: “Use Your Brain to Make a Change” and “Living Life to the Fullest,” combining Neuro Linguistics, psychology, religion, and prayer.Good Lord, the Rad-Novus Ordites are that arrogant that they fail to see the obvious right in front of them.
