Call of Heaven:
Is a traditional Catholic resource for women seeking information about becoming a religious (sister or nun). Only the more conservative orders will be found here, mainly through the Council Of Major Superiors of Women Religious (CMSWR). If one is searching for a more liberal community of sisters, one should direct their search to the LCWR. As often as possible we will spotlight a new order belonging to the CMSWR complete with information on the order including contacts. It is also possible communities outside of the CMSWR will be discussed if they come to my attention.
This blog site is not affiliated with any religious community or the CMSWR, and is for informational purposes only.

Children Of Mary (Newark, Ohio)



Children of Mary is a traditional community- situated on a large tract of wooded land in central Ohio. They are considered semi-contemplative. This is a rather new community (under 20 years old) in Newark, Ohio, and is under the guidance of Bishop Campbell in the Diocese of Columbus.
This is a young and very traditional group of sisters, whose spirituality is centered on the real presence of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.
At the head of this community is Mother Margaret Mary (photo above), who lived for years as a solitary hermit before forming the Children of Mary (order and rule approved in 2002). Chosen as patron saints of this order are Saint John Paul II, Saint Therese of the Child Jesus (the Little Flower), Saint John Vianny, and Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta.

The daily schedule includes daily mass at 9am, the Rosary, the Divine Mercy Chaplet, and chanting morning, evening and night prayers. You rise at 6:00 am, and lights out at 10:00 pm. For the full schedule and much more information on this fast growing community please go to their website located here: www.childrenofmary.net
