Hey, there! Thanks for your responses!
Luckey...thanks for the compliment! My last class of 8th graders was a blast...the boys tried to teach me to play rugby AND they let me win! I guess I'm not quite the conventional nun, but most of Sisters probably aren't, either! You gotta love the Sisters of St. Joseph!
Archangel, the "flourisher" is the drummer (or group of drummers) who twirl their sticks around, much to the delight of the crowd. I, on the other hand, am a "rythm tenor"...I strictly play the drum, no flashy, twirling arm movements. If you have never seen pipe band flourishers, check it out online (you can probably find an example on You Tube {I think that's how it is spelled}...the flourisher Tyler Fry seems to be a world favorite...check him out if you can)!
James, so, yes...you hit the nail on the head with your definition of flourishing!!

Oh, Reverend Sister, that is just the way I am looking to learn the drums. In my own Clergy tartan, with a few members of our communities, what a pipe band we could make!! Heavenly music?

Thanks, I have been enlightened.

Sisters of St. Joseph, weren't they based in Hamilton, Ontario? I went to Holy Rosary which was run by that order I believe.

I learned there is no such thing as a conventional nun, at least according to the world's standards.

Mother Superior, Zorro to us, ruled. She always looked like she was walking into the wind, eerie. Sister Georgina played stride piano through funeral hymns until Zorro glided behind her and tapped her shoulder and she settled down.

My mother had a role in a play where she played a prostitute who did fetish roles. Mum needed a habit to wear in the play. Bear in mind that mum is very anti-religious and extremely anti-Catholic. She explained the situation to the nuns and they loaned her one for the duration of the play. She still doesn't like Catholics but she respects nuns.

Hey, there, Archangel...
The Sisters of St. Joseph were founded in LePuy, France in 1650. We were refounded in Lyon after the french Revolution. After that we spread out all over the world.
The London, Ontario Sisters of St. Joseph share our common ancestry and are in our Sisters of St. Joseph Federation. I actually have a Sister friend from the London congregation! We were novices together in West Hartford, CT...she is delightful! She works at St. Peter's Seminary.
Glad to hear your mom likes the Joes!
