Julie Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Here's a little mystery, let's see who can solve it for me. Today, the order of Malta is having some retreat thingie with Cardinal Burke at my college in Southern California. (That might give away where I go to school, but I don't really mind.) At Mass this morning, there was a sister wearing a royal blue habit. Just plain royal blue tunic, scapular, and veil. The veil was pretty long and came kind of low down on her forehead, and it was entirely blue, but seemed a little more structured than other "one peice" veils I've seen before, so maybe there were multiple peices in the same fabric. Anyways, Google searching has not helped me, and I thought someone here could. I would recognize the habit if I saw it (she came up to me in the chapel to ask whether we were in the chapel, so I got a good look, even though I didn't get the chance to chat with her.)

NadaTeTurbe Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 School sisters of Christ the King ? or IHM Wichita ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 Nope. The tunic was a little longer, almost to the floor, and the veil had no white whatsoever (that was one of the striking things- I've never seen a habit that was purely one color.) That is the right blue, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NadaTeTurbe Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) There was some kind of wimple, or it was a simple veil ? Did you see the hairs ? I can't think of any community in full blue, really. Edited January 16, 2016 by NadaTeTurbe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truthfinder Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Well, this is really vague, and I've searched for a while, but I'm apparently missing the key words. I'm sure I've seen an all blue habit; the congregation is small from what I remember, have a priests/brothers version, offer retreats, and I think have a devotion to Maximillian Kolbe. Maybe that will trigger something with another person and hopefully bring you an answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graciela Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Perhaps these? Handmaids of the Triune God, a public association of the faithful in southern California. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponsa-Christi Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 The Sisters of Our Lady Immaculate maybe? http://solisisters.ca/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, this might be right. I was pretty sure that the sleeves were different (also darker blue) but I could be wrong, because there was a sweater involved. The rest is spot on, and also, though I'm not great with faces, the taller sister looks a little familiar. It also explains why I hadn't seen a habit like that before!

You're thinking about the Sisters minors of Mary Immaculate or the Missionaries of the Heart of Jesus and Mary Immaculate. They were suppressed a few month ago (http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/topic/112019-new-institute-of-franciscan-missionary-sisters/?page=4 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out I was thinking of the Daughters of the Immaculata who are based in Illinois. https://www.google.ca/search?q=daughters+of+the+immaculata&safe=active&client=safari&hl=en&prmd=imnv&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiA0MayvLDKAhUEyyYKHdr4AdYQ_AUICCgB#imgrc=4vXlMS5fhMmsUM%3A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonkira Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 (edited) The ones with the Bishop are the Marian Sisters of Santa Rosa. Your second is Hesed, from (I think) Brazil. Edited July 23, 2020 by Bonkira Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the Marian Sisters of Santa Rosa located in Santa Rosa, CA. They are an active/contemplative order and do a lot with catechisms (classes, retreats, camps, etc.) An interesting note about them is that they attend both EF and OF Masses and are involved with both.
