TOR sisters of penance of the sorrowful mother in Austria and the States.

If I am not mistaken, they are not in communion with Rome?

I wondered that. Thanks for posting. Their website wasn't very clear -but they had lovely pictures. Big prayers.

I too was very sad to hear that. They looked like such a beautiful community.. (

Actually those sisters were from St. Emma's in Pennsylvania. They ran the cafeteria at the Benedictine seminary and college at Latrobe for many years. The sisters came over from Germany right before WW2.

Novices in Peru. Santa Catalina Monastery.

Nope! This was taken when JP II went to St. Louis! I saw it myself on TV! For some reason we watched it that evening when the Holy Father was there.

Well, good! Now how about that Dominican photo up there?

Looks like Sister Mary Catherine.................... BUT...............What was she doing ?

Founded by Regina Laudis in Bethlehem, CT, I think, OSB of the primitive observance, in communion. May now be independent.

Sister of Life... I'm almost certain

I think you are right, you can see her blue scapular by her feet

WEAVING! This was a photo taken by a local newspaper. I had a broken thread and was trying to figure out what to do with it! :-)

I know those brothers (first and second from the left) - I attended the First Vows of the second brother. The TOR sisters are a nice group

Wish i had a scanner or whatever.I have some old family photos of my great aunt ,Sister Mary Generose
in both the original and modified habit of the School Sisters of Notre Dame that i wish I could post for everyone.
She's buried in their convent cemetery in Elm Grove,Wisconsin.I don't know if I have any photos of my late cousin,Sister John Edna,who belonged to the Sisters of Charity of Nazerath,KY. I think there is one of her wearing the modified habit.They used to wear a black habit with a shoulder cape, and a white bonnet if I recall.

Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles Priory of Our Lady of Ephesus



About this picture: The latest addition to the Priory is an antique 6' 2'' statue of St. Benedict found in an antique store. This plaster and hemp statue, originally formed right on a faux marble wooden pedestal, was cut off below the feet. We are giving him a humble place of honor until we can build an appropriate niche for him at the new monastery. He needs to be up high; as you can see he is meant to be looking down lovingly on his daughters.

Yes, the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth used to wear a simple black habit with a cape and a white bonnet (cap) that was similar to the old Kentucky sun bonnet - which was not a modified habit. Their foundress was Mother Catherine Spaulding.

Sister Mary Catherine, I see what you mean about the kerchief- style veil! I finally understand!

They are the cloistered-contemplative Nuns of the Order of Preachers.
