Some Postulants grow their hair out to be able to donate it at entrance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious. [/quote] It depends on the order. At entrance, they normally cut the ponytail off, as seen in that picture. After that, the sister usually cuts her hair herself. So it could be at various lengths, I know that some people with really thick hair just cut mostly everything off, but leave the front part that shows under the veil. No one can see it so it doesn't really matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RosaMystica Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 (edited) Some of my favorite Domican Nuns at the Monastery of the Blessed Sacrament in Farmington Hills, MI I have become good friends with the three extern Sisters at this monastery. They are a truly holy and loving group and they have perpetual adoration!

Thomist-in-Training Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 (edited) Here are some that I just found: The captions are in very bad English but have a little information. At Citta di Castello. I'm 98% certain that these are the [i]enclosed Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate [/i], not [i]Poor Clares[/i] of the Immaculate so don't be misled by the tag that says 'Clarisse.' There are a lot of neat pictures, kneeling for breakfast, prayers, playing volleyball. [url="http://www.granangular.net/report_categ.asp?id_thm=5&ths=thm&id_ths_ou=&id_act=&page=4"]Scroll down to "A Mystic Life"[/url] I don't know if the page will always be at that location but the number of the group of pictures seems to be "Gr0196" or "Photos: Ropi/GRANANGULAR."
