Yes, you are right. I see that the religious habit is a "must have" for you. I understand. I suspect that you perceive that the religious habit is a sign of the kind of spirituality which suits you best.

So, are you going to the discernment week? Looks like a great way to get to know the community. I checked out their website and they seem to do some good work and as Natty said seem fairly "groovy." If that's what one is looking for :)

I stayed with them for a week in January and had a blast! On the personality side, they seem the perfect fit. I missed them very much when I left them after the week. But on the spirituality side, I seem to seek something more. You see we still kinda keep in touch.
