Thomist-in-Training Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Could it be that they have the sort of large wimple... or it might have a different name... that covers all of the shoulders, and that their main dress is actually blue or black? A red herring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnlySunshine Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 (edited) I am usually a lurker, but I saw some Sisters on a website that looked similar to these Sisters in the picture. I've never heard of them before.

The mystery nuns have white underneath. This sure has been bugging me - I hope someone can find out who they are because I have exhausted all my resources already!

DevotedtoHim Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I have never heard of them before. Do you think they have any restrictions on who can enter? Age, sexuality or divorced/widowed? I like their habits. Katherine P.S. I don't think they are the same community as in the first photo though because I think the first photo had the nuns in white. But thanks all the same for this great new link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
she_who_is_not Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 The ASSP have traditionally been very open about age. I don't know what their policy is on divorces/annulments. Since they recently entered the Roman Catholic Church from the Anglican communion they might need to change some things to satisfy canoncial requirements. I'd give them a call!

[/quote JMJ Well,thr only way to find out is to call! Luckily, they ARE in Communion. I really like them, too. Perhaps if you call them you can tell us how it went. Hopefully we can find out who the mystery nuns are, it truly is beginning to drive me mad trying to figure out who they are! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morostheos Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 It does look like in some of their pictures that there is a white stripe underneath on their veils, so they may be the same...

she_who_is_not Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 I don't think it could be the All Saints Sisters. They were traditional Episcopalian nuns until this past year when they were received into the Church. I don't know if they would have been invited or attended an IRL meeting in 2007. However, I would encourage anyone to give them a call. I don't personally know them but several friends and family members have gone on retreat at their house in Catonsville throughout the years. They are very hospitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking TradMom's lead, I posted the picture to Gemma's habit group yesterday. This morning I checked my e-mail and happily saw that Gemma sent a reply in to the habit group -- here is her response: [quote] At first glance, and seeing as the pic belongs to the IRL, I would say that it is an old pic of the Dominican Srs of Justice, Illinois. They have since adapted the "headband" veil like Nashville. HTH Blessings, Gemma [/quote] Edited January 27, 2010 by laetitia crucis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotusTuusMaria Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I have a friend who saw this and recognized them as the Dominican sisters in Justice, IL. She wrote the sisters and Sr. Margaret's answers was: "Whoever gave you the first answer, they were right. Yes, these are our sisters: Sr. Maksymilia, Sr. Klaudia and Sr. Dolores (starting from the left, closer up) We changed our veils only some 5-6 years ago and before that this is exactly what we looked like." Those veils are beautiful, although I think the new ones are nice too, like the Nashville Dominicans. http://www.sistersop.com/ http://www.cmswr.org/member_communities/DSOIC.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
