The Little Sisters of the Poor have a couple of Vocation Discernment retreats coming up, and opportunities to spend World Youth Day with them at their home in Latham, NY, the Easter Triduum at the Novitiate in Queens, NY, and an "In the Footsteps of Jeanne Jugan" weekend at the Novitiate in Queens. Here is the info:
Vocation Discernment Retreats:
March 23-25, 2007 in Denver, CO. Contact vcdenver@littlesistersofthepoor.org
July 13-15, 2007 in Gallup, NM. Contact vcgallup@littlesistersofthepoor.org
These retreats are spent in silence, with Eucharistic Adoration and guided Lectio Divina. Of course there is Mass, confession, and an opportunity to participate in the Little Sisters' hospitality. Young women can also spend a few extra days with the sisters if they wish to have an extended experience of the Little Sister's work and prayer life.
World Youth Day, 2007:
March 31-April 1, 2007 For young women ages 13-17. This will take place at the Little Sisters' home in Latham, NY. Contact lmsrconstancecarolyn@lspusa.org

The Little Sisters have a newsletter called "Elan" (sent via US Mail) with beautiful reflections on discernment and the religious life. It also has information about upcoming discernment opportunities. I believe you can sign up for it by e-mailing Sr Maria de la Luz at vocationinfo@littlesistersofthepoor.org (she will need your mailing address).
