And the wearing of the cappas depends on the liturgical season, and the solemnity of an event... but I'm sure Sr Mary Catharine with have a more complete answer for us.

[/quote] The active sisters call it the mantle which is a reflection of their origins as "third Order". It's also cut differently than the friars and nuns and we call it a cappa. The friars have the black capuce over their cappa but the actual cappa of the friars and nuns is exactly the same, although I guess theirs is longer! : The use of the cappa depends on the directory of each monastery and province and there is no uniform usage. It is not like the cuculla of the Benedictines and Cistercians who receive theirs at Solemn Profession. The cappa is worn at least during the Sacred Triduum until it is whipped off at the first strains of the Gloria at the Easter Vigil. It is worn by the sister getting the habit or making profession, the Prioress and novice mistress at Clothing and Profession. It is often worn for the burial of a sister. It may also be worn all through Lent at the Office, at dinner on Good Friday, and it is nice to wrap up in at night during Night Adoration! It was often worn from Sept 14th until the Easter Vigil but the real reason for that is/was that churches in Europe were cold! The friars almost always wear it when preaching. OK, is that as clear as mud? Edited September 21, 2006 by Sr. Mary Catharine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavenlyCalling Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Thank you very much sister, I was just wondering, as I have seen pictures of only the novies wearing them, or the whole community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eia Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Thanks for the news flash, Sr. Mary Catherine! I've been waiting FOREVER to see these. Sr. Anna Christi, one of the new solemnly professed, is a young woman from my new parish, and I've been dying to get a glimpse of her in her black veil!

[/quote] We were anxious to see pictures of Sr. Rosaria who just made 1st profession as she was considering our monastery at one point in her discernment . BTW, the Sisters don't make Solemn Profession but Simple Perpetual Profession. Only the Friars and Nuns make Solemn Profession. They have a different vow formula. God bless you!
