Nice article on the Nashville Dominicans from the Tennessean. They are a traditionally-garbed and structured religious order which is one of the few women's religious orders in the US that's actually growing and that actually has a median age below, say, 70.

Gorgeous chant.
The hospital-like dormitory mentioned in the article.
Friday evening's entertainment: a viewing of Song of Bernadette.
