Jennifer Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 [quote name='Sr. Mary Catharine' post='1371929' date='Aug 28 2007, 01:43 AM']It's a surplice because they are canonesses and canons wore the surplice instead of the scapular. That is what the Dominicans originally wore until Our Lady gave us the scapular. But I've never heard of the women wearing a surplice.[/quote] Thank you Sister for this information. You are very knowledgable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ale Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 [img]http://www.chiesadimilano.it/or/ADMI/esy/objects/images/c_795472.jpg[/img] Here is a slideshow with some pictures of the Franciscan Sisters Handmaids of the Lord (sorelle francescane Ancelle del Signore) a new franciscan-inspired community recognized by the bishop of Como (Italy) in 1988: [url="http://www.chiesadimilano.it/or/ADMI/pagine/upload/1_lenno.swf"]http://www.chiesadimilano.it/or/ADMI/pagin...oad/1_lenno.swf[/url] They live in the ancient abbey of Acquafredda in the town of Lenno, just on the borders of the Lake of Como. In the abbey also lives an old capuchine friar, padre Odorico, wich is 80 years old and quite famous for his sanctity of life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totus Tuus Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I have seen a lot of those Franciscan Sisters of the Eucharist in my diocese. I think they have a community here. I don't know much about their ministry, but I have seen them at various events on on the Catholic campus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
be_thou_my_vision Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 The Fraciscan Sisters of the Eucharist are very educated... they do all kinds of work. Psychology, medicine, farming, ect. They remind me a lot of the Religious Sisters of Mercy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
