Just a NOTE, that because the Community mixes usage of Rites(East/West), and Celebrates the Mass of Ranguile( sp?), while they DO have complete approval of The Church,(Local and Rome) some of their Liturgical practices (like not Kneeling at Mass,Communion under Both Species always ,etc.)may be surprising, or odd,or senseless ,(as they are to me), to Americans, and Traditionalists. they try to imbue there liturgical Life with a Byzantine and Charismatic sense, yet completely within a Latin Tradition.

thank you! the habits are beautiful!

so pretty. white on white on white. like in heaven.



awww my new favorite nun habit. soo cuuute. white and some blue, just like Our Lady. and the cape drapes straight down the front, like a princess from Cinderella or midieval times, and like the Fatima statue in Fr. Corapi's series on Fatima.

it's so adorable. if everyone wore that the world would be a happier place

WOOHOO!

Deportes!

FMJ's in Rome









and the new foundation in Warsaw POland

I recognize some of those sisters.


That's kind of funny... the habits (the style of veil) is one of the things my sister likes less.
These are pictures from Sister Susannah's profession (she's their one American sister).
And this is from Frère Yannick's clothing.

actually the head veil does look.. interesting. looks like something you would wear while doing labor to tie up the hair. what i do like is the white cape on the blue dress.

if i were to ask a woman to marry me on bended knee, i'd wish for her to look just like this when i pop the question..


aww

really? lol. yah...the habits are so beautiful. the white makes them look so pure and like such a child! I love it.

its a Veil type that would be more of an ancient Middle East way.
Yes i know what you mean, when i stayed with them in Montreal(Bro's) at their foundations beginning ,while working,and in Paris,i noticed the Sisters,especially with longer hair, were constantly fixing and retying the back..but! i do see that in old Jerusalem/Palestine, the consecrated Virgins would have had a similar type veil, since the whimple is a recent in history invention.
In Jerusalem,the city, i saw quite a few women,Arabs and Orthodox Jews, with the same hair covering, only usually black.
ALSO, its more practical for the Sisters to remove etc, the ones who work in Public buildings(Since in France Religious/Priests cannot wear habits, clerics etc, in State places like Hospitals, Govt. Agencies, Schools etc), and one Sister is a Doctor, others teachers etc.
PAX

It kind of looks like a snood.

I have one, and it is good for doing work in.

That was the word i as looking for, an old version of a snood...

Suore Franciscani Minore Rinovati'( these are the Sisters to the Frati Minori Rinnovati, a Capuchin Renewal)some people call them the Discalced Sisters of St Francis, but i think that is the very similar traditionalist group in Sicily)
i had alot more diverse pics, maybe i will find them someday!

Oh my goodness! That little boys face! Adorable!

you know, i wanted to ask you to post pictures of a certain order of nuns...i mean community. but, i can't think of the name. it's not the title of the community, it's the name itself! i had seen that word on PM, but i can't find the thread where i found it. it's not capuchin, or dominican...but something i've never heard of. oh well, i'll try to remember the name.

Sr Philippas' at Stanbrook Benedictine Abbey

Does anyone know the names of these PCPA from OLAM?

I know that the nun on the letf is Sr. Mary Peter I think that the one on the right is either Sr. Mary Helena or Sr. Mary Jacinta, but I'm not sure


This is either Sr. Marie Michelle, Sr.Mary Francis Sharbel, Sr. Mary Regina, Sr. Margaret Mary, Sr. Mary Michael, Sr. Grace Marie, or Sr. Rose Marie (they are the solem professed nuns with glasses)

Thank you very much for your help!

ohhh what a pretty convent! where is it?

Stanbrook Abbey (link) is a monastery of Benedictine nuns in Worcestershire. The place is indeed fantastic: VA and I stayed there for a few days last Summer and had a whale of a time. The church is very beautiful, designed by Pugin.

However, they're not going to be there for much longer; the community will soon move to South Yorkshire and the monastery buildings will probably be turned into a hotel and spa.

I saw two of them tonight at our cathedral (diocesan feast day and celebration of our cardinal's 25th anniversary of ordination to the episcopacy).

cool ,where are they located?

Really? are you sure they weren't Contemplative Sisters of St John?(white veil ,dark grey habit
) i didn't think they had any Apostolic Sisters in Quebec.?
pax

if you mean the Sisters she saw at the Cathedral? that would have Been in Montreal, since the Contemplative Sisters of St John are located juts north of Montreal, Quebec.
The Apostolic, Sisters of St. John, as pictured in the earlier post are located in;
Belgium (at the Shrine of Banneux)
11 places in France
4 African Countries
and the Philippines..
they also are making regular visits to Orange, New Jersey, so you never know whats going to happen..
pax!!

Pax!
Well they are dressed exactly like the 'Marian Sisters of Israel and St. John', in the Dioceses of Lyon, France, but its odd they are out and about, since i knew them to be very penitential, and practically hermit like....the Bishop and primate of France suppressed them 3 years ago? the Foundress was a bit, lets say, off her rocker..but.. perhaps a little group has prevailed ,regathered and straightened things out?

Yeah, I've heard of this community too and how they were suppressed, because of the problems with the Mother foundress. Their habits were just like the Apostolic Srs of St. John, except blue. Maybe they were out for a special occasion/pilgrimage to Lourdes. Probably this picture of the sisters is an old one. I can't find the article online where I read about them, but I remember it said at the end that several other orders were ready to receive the sisters from this suppressed community, so that's good.

I think they said there were in St. Jerome. If you click on the link, you'll see that it's northwest of Montreal.





I remember them saying something about being sœurs de St. Jean. I remember them saying they were in St. Jerome , that their order was a new one, that their founder was a Dominican, and that they had been in St. Jerome for (about 10 yrs, can't remember the exact number they gave). Their habits were pale grey and they wore white wimples. In fact, they looked like the sisters in this pictures:

and not like the ones in this picture


________________________________________________________________________________________


However, thanks to the French wikipedia and this line in it: "Les sœurs contemplatives portent en plus un voile blanc et les sœurs apostoliques un voile gris", I can agree that they were the contemplative sisters. When I read that line I remembered noticing their white veils because they're sewn in back. Um, that wasn't a good description... let's see... to help the veil sit properly, there's a vertical seam down the part of the veil that doesn't sit on top of the head, that runs down the back of the head and neck. It's a little like the seams that are sewn to tailor a bust. It probably helps keep the veil neatly on her back as opposed to floating around everywhere, and on her head because it now has some of the advantages of a hood. The middle picture here can give you some idea.


I found their contact info, and it is St. Jerome that they're in!
524, rue de l’Epée, Saint-Jérôme, Québec, J7Y-3V7. Tél. : 001450-569-0620. Fax : 001450-569-0935.. Tél. : 001450-569-0620. Fax : 001450-569-0935.

But they still don't look like these sisters

The apostolic sisters are in the midst of starting a foundation in S. Orange, NJ. This from the priest who is the liason helping them get established so I think the source can be trusted! :-)

But they still don't look like these sisters
[/quote]
Yes in St Jerome they are Contemplative Sisters of St John, i didnt choose the best Pictures for them as this one is made up of 80% Novices, hence no whipple, youll notice one or 2 Sisters on the background with full veil, fully professed..also, even the Contemplative Sisters in hot countries and hot weather, as the Brothers, wear a thinner light-grey habit.
SO to sum up simply..
=Apostolic Srs of St. John, grey veil (whipple for professed)
=Contemplative Sisters of St. John, white veil(whipple for professed)
pax!!!

actually that photo is from a Diocesan Pilgrimage last year at Lourdes...so, hence the confusion...an American friend of mine,. who was a Sister of them ,who transfered from the Bethlehem Nuns Community in Livingston manor,(for a more austere!! life and to be closer to teachings of FR Phillipe)..i have not heard from her for a long time..so...anything is possible.
