Just wondering Father, do you know of any apostolic congregrations of religious sisters who have Mass in the Old Rite?...an enquiry by one considering a vocation but rather jaded by the distractions of liturgical abuses.
No, not in the old rite. The refuge in the UK is St Cecilia's, Ryde. It is Novus Ordo but all in Latin - and certainly no liturgical abuses! (Oh, and of course they are a thriving community with young sisters etc.)
If you didn't mind being a bit further from home (assuming home is on the British Isles) then there is also the Benedictine Abbaye Notre-Dame de l'Annonciation, near Avignon. I paid them a visit over the summer and they are just fantastic. Beautiful liturgy in the Old Rite, very friendly and (shock, horror) full to bursting with young vocations. I got talking to one Sister from the United States, so there is at least one refugee from the English-speaking world there!
