Ferdinand Benedictines
counter L. A. Times article
A recent Los Angeles Times
article which indicated that
nuns appear to be dying out as
an institution is not the experi-
ence of the Sisters of St. Bene-
dict in Ferdinand. The commu-
nity has statistics to back up
their claim that there is a
resurgence of interest in reli-
gious life, contrary to the per-
ceived notion that nuns are a
dying breed.
The community of 243 mem-
bers at Ferdinand averages 50
new inquiries a month, accord-
ing to vocations director, Bene-
dictine Sister Rose Mary Rex-
ing. She said that of those 50,
about 10 "express a desire to
keep in touch with us in order
to decide if this way of life is
for them."
Five years ago, only 13
women were part of the Bene-
dictine Life program for
women who are seriously con-
sidering a call to religious life.
Today, there are 153 women in
the program.
In the past two years, six
women, ranging in age from 22
to 43, have made the decision
to join the community at
Ferdinand.
