[/quote] [quote name='Gemma' timestamp='1340185981' post='2446634'] The Spiritual Family, The Work. Yes, that's the real name. They wear this garb only for religious functions. In the apostolate, they wear civies. I'm wanting to say they're akin to a secular institute, and were founded by a laywoman. Blessings, Gemma [/quote] That's true. This is their website in english: http://www.thework-fso.org/english/index.php They are located in Rome, Jersusalem, Vienna, Munich and so on. And: They are in line with the church (quote:) [i]On 29th August, 2001, the fourth anniversary of the death of Mother Julia Verhaeghe (1910-1997), papal approval as a Family of Consecrated Life was conferred on The Spiritual Family The Work.[/i] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yep, the Contemplative FSI have two houses (they often call them Contemplative Houses rather than monasteries it seems) in Italy, one in England and another in the Philippines. The Poor Clares of the Immaculate are all in Italy, 4 monasteries as of 2008. They were founded in 2002. [quote name='emmaberry' timestamp='1341690747' post='2453179'] Thanks for the link!

[/quote] I'm not sure but I have seen a picture of the Capuchin Poor Clares at St. Veronica's monastery doing that too. I can't find the picture online though. It was in a little English booklet about her called, [url="http://www.worldcat.org/title/purgatory-of-love/oclc/24096831"][i]The Purgatory of Love[/i][/url], which I haven't been able to find available anywhere, except probably at her shrine.
