Deus te Amat Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 [quote name='Libcath2000' timestamp='1328793404' post='2384183'] Another order outside of full communion, employing a rather unique habit.

They seemed to be having quite the time attempting to get through the pat down procedure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnlySunshine Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 The Sisters of Social Service in 1938. Check out the very unusual veils. It looks like veil material on top of a brimmed hat.

EmilyAnn Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 ^ Four is pretty good! There are orders that haven't had a new entrant in years. My community currently has two novices, one in temporary vows due to take solemn vows soon and the other due to take temporary vows. There are a few new entrants expected this year, three or four I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
