Today I was at noon Mass St. Dominic's (a local Dominican parish). I noticed a nun sitting a few pews away from me. I am hoping that someone could tell me what order she might be from. She was wearing an all blue habit (with a hood) that was up and pinned to her head. She wore a rosary around her waist and sandals. I've never seen her before and didn't get a chance to talk to her afterwards. Does anyone know?
Thanks!

What shade of blue?

well, here is a list of the Womens Orders in your diocese
HERE<< ,
and it is possible she was a person in private Vows? or a public vowed hermitess? or part of the unapproved Ecumenical (schismatic?) group in Ohio, who's apparition dresses like you described the lady you saw in Church. see http://www.holylove.org/ then ..see below

It was blue-blue... like royal blue or crayola crayon blue.

EJames, thanks for the list. However, I'm from the Diocese of Youngstown and not the Cleveland Diocese. I'g going to check my diocese website to see if it has a list like that, but I don't think it does.

I feel silly that I didn't think of this sooner, but maybe she is on home visit? It may not be an Institute in your Diocese. Though I may be wrong... Just a thought...

A hood? hmm... that's got me stumped... sorry, but maybe she'll be back tomorrow?

Maybe, the Children of Mary in Newark, Ohio?



This sisters' veil looks like a hood.

I went to Mass again today. She wasn't there. I did ask around and someone said that they do know who she is, but don't know what order she belongs to. I didn't get a chance to ask the Priest. The person that does know her said that she usually goes to the 6am Mass (at another church, I think). She's not from Children of Mary. It's definitely a hood and not "looks like a hood." I asked my aunt who works at the Villa Maria (IHMs) and she didn't know either. I'm stumped. *shurgs shoulders* Thanks for your help everyone.
