    Wondering did any such Nuns of your particular Sisters group come from Canada to Louisiana to settle back in the 1960s-1070s? I ask because the camp I rented had a shed out back that was once used for a chapel by Canadian Nuns who migrated similar to of whom you speak...

    @antidiem My particular order of Sisters predominantly have missions throughout Canada. They have had missions/convents mostly throughout the northern United States. It is possible, the Sisters/Nuns you speak of could possibly be from a similar order. ❤️Maven

    Yes, it was said they traveled down south from Canada to Acadian French territory to spread their religion. This was in about in the late 1960s or very early 1970s. They made the little shed beautiful, but it was just a storage shed after all! ;) Thanks for your reply.

    I never met a NICE nun! Most of us grew up with FON. (Fear of Nuns).

    @Bev aka thelmasstuff I think the role of a Nun/Sister is evolving as the 21st century progresses. While respect, and adherence to vows and traditions certainly MUST be practiced and respected as devotion to the vocation. An even MORE progressive, approachable, understanding, teaching, compassionate knowledgeable role should exist in the new challenges of a technological and even more pre-occupied world. ❤️Maven
