DiscerningCatholic Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 Haha!!! You know who? The sisters or the friars or both?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneLine Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 (edited) Baby friars hatch near me.... And some of those Sisters must be VERY tall... Fr. Anselm (tall guy in back row, partly hidden in one picture)-- he is WAY over 6 feet tall! Edited October 25, 2012 by AnneLine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscerningCatholic Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 Haha! Well, I know that both of "my" sisters were taller than me with their huge shoes on. And the sister furthest to the right standing between the two friars looks super tall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneLine Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 (edited) Those two friars aren't as tall as some of their brethren -- but it looks like she is AS tall as Fr Anslem in the 2nd picture... so she must be about 6 foot! Of course... the first picture is on grass (I think at the Marina Green), and I don't know if it is flat or not -- The second one is at Justin Herman Plaza, downtown -- almost certainly assembled for the March for Life.... The brickwork at the Plaza is flat, so we can make better size comparisons on that one... but ANY size Dominicans are nice to see....

AnneLine Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 (edited) OK, you wanna talk Dominicans -- this was a profession from a few years back... [indent=2] [color=#0000FF]EDIT: I tried to post it but the company won't let me upload it.[/color][/indent] [indent=2][color=#0000FF]So... here's what you do:[/color][/indent] [indent=2] [color=#0000FF]Go to [url="http://www.vimeo.com"]www.vimeo.com[/url][/color][/indent] [indent=2][color=#0000FF]Search for 'Domincan Profession' (you are looking for the one from 2007)[/color][/indent] Yes, there IS an AnneLine sighting in it.... towards the end in the celebration after the Professions.... in the company of three Dominican Sisters from Mission San Jose. The ceremony is beautiful! Enjoy!!!!! [i][color=#0000FF]Oh.... one other thing, before someone asks -- those are NOT weird hangings on the Church walls -- they were doing a repair/retrofit of the beautiful windows..... so lots of paper and plastic covering BIG holes![/color][/i] Edited October 25, 2012 by AnneLine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luigi Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 (edited) I have Domincan aunts. One feature of Dominicans that the younger aunt ALWAYS liked is the fact the friars and the sisters wear basically the same habit - the veil versus the hood, but basically the same habit. When she was young and in formation at the motherhouse, she was walking across the campus one day and noticed a nun some distance in front of her - she was trying to figure out which of the sisters it was, when she noticed, "Sister forgot to put her veil on - and she's BALD!" Turned out to be a friar. Edited October 25, 2012 by Luigi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
