Not really possible. One needs a foundation, a superior—-I will not operate without one, money, and sisters.  One also must have the requisite administrative, financial, and management skills, things for which I have zero aptitude.  
How about a pious union? I know of one comprising only about 5 women.

No one needs to join a religious order or community or a pious union to save their soul.  Masses, rosaries and good works are beneficial and necessary for every catholic, whatever their vocation.  Those of you who are persuading mature adults into a such a scenario are 1) ignoring the competence of mature adults to make their own decisions and 2) putting your Middle Ages/idealistic fantasies ahead of reality.

Mr. Troubled30 is either young, wealthy, on his parents’ good medical insurance, or from a country with socialized medicine.  I have insurance, but it’s not very good and doesn’t cover many things like dental or optical care.  
Dear Seraphina
I apologize , I didnt know about your medical situation.

Ps. Im a woman, I dont have socialized medicine (I have to pay it and I know its very hard). Please forget my last statements.

Copy your response out and read it when you are old and in pain.

So you're saying you choose comfort over the Cross? You choose pain-killers over grace? You choose a temporary "fix" over Christ?

Copy your response and read it after you pray the rosary.

That's an American thing, it was not like that for the Southern Europeans who came to America, like the Italians. Americans are like snakes, they lay their eggs and walk away, and let the children fend for  themselves basically. In my culture, the daughters would remain in the home till they were married to a man that was appropriate in the eyes of the parents, specially the father. The sons were taught a business, how to make a living by the father.

In America they are both sent away from daycare to K-12, to College/work. They must fend for themselves.
I was born and raised in ny and nj and it is so true what you say. My family is of dominican and Puerto Rican decent but when they came here and assimilated all of what you speak was slowly driven out of our family. I strongly believe in having our daughters at home until they either marry with papa's consent or become a religious. Also boys must work and either learn a trade or start a business or take over family business. We here do not encourage college...mostly it is just a worldly indoctrination camp...that you pay for!
