Gemma Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 [quote name='philosobrat' post='1272254' date='May 13 2007, 12:50 AM']VOLS? I still think an orange habit for the Holy Spirit would be beautiful. There is no liturgical orange and blue is rare. I wonder why these colors are so neglected.[/quote] VOLS!!! Yes, the University of Tennessee Volunteers! We're talking big-time college football, and the Lady Vols basketball team. TN got dubbed the "volunteer state" because of the number of WWII volunteers that came from that state. If not orange, what about apricot? I'm thinking handmaidens used to wear that color. But, yes I can see where you're coming from where orange for the Holy Ghost is concerned.

jkaands Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 [quote name='HeavenlyCalling' post='1162818' date='Jan 12 2007, 04:12 PM']Those are nice, there not the ones I was thinking of though, these ones were all red, with a white cape, I'll see if I can find a pic for you guys. They seem contemplative, but do teach college ( or did, at any rate ) edit: here it is, finally! Yay me [url="http://www.blessings-catalog.com/specialorders/sp422.html"]http://www.blessings-catalog.com/specialorders/sp422.html[/url][/quote] Good find, Heavenly. Institute for Perp Adoration, AP. But I can't find them on google now. Are they still around?! --there are the Nuns of Perp Adoration in SF, a small house, ageing, in their beautiful red habit. The Srs. of the Precious Blood wear black veil, white habit and red scap. Very nice. I wonder why they don't have more vocations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmaD2006 Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I voted for maroon but I really meant dark brown and beige ... the color of the habit for the community I'm joining :-). I hated brown but for some reason month after month it starts growing on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hated brown but for some reason month after month it starts growing on me.[/quote] Well...I can give you an update on maroon, the Sisters in Jesus the Lord new foundation of Sisters in Saint Paul, Minnesota private assocation under the Canoness Regular Law [there are alot of cons to private assocation] When they become a public assocation their offical color habit will be maroon, except Sister Julia unless she ends up changing she is the founder, but made perpetual profession as a Mary Knoll sister until she answered a call by two Russian priests residing in Russia, sister asked, "What is it that you need most in Russia?" priests said, "NUNS! SISTERS!" Thus she founded the Sisters in Jesus the Lord for that purpose, and they do alot of other side things. Why am I bragging? I'll give you their community link, website. [url="http://www.cjd.cc/"]http://www.cjd.cc/[/url] And for maroon here is a pic from their website; [img]http://www.cjd.cc/all%20four%20smiling.jpg[/img] Yes take notice the postulant outfit is slightly different. Except in one pic I believe Collette their postulant has a bit of maroon and blue. Anyway...left to right, Collette, Sister Catherine Marie, Sister Maria Stella and Sister Julia Kubista. Sister Maria Stella was the first to enter, she has an interesting vocation story, granted they dont have them up on the website, but I asked her first hand on the coach bus from IRL back to MN she plays the harp and, hehe, then obviously Sister Catherine Marie was second to enter, plays the flute one of them plays the guitar, Collette actually just entered sometime last year so she will be soon enough a fellow novice companion unless Sister Catherine Marie is indeed getting the expiration date of the Novitiate. However news has it that another girl will enter sometime, may even already have in May! YAY! Edited May 17, 2007 by AlterDominicus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
