So, I think I might have found it! Although I can't find any recent pictures of them, they sure do look like the Sisters of Saint Joseph from this [url="http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=108825449157385&topic=80#!/photo.php?pid=163435&id=108825449157385&ref=fbx_album"]Facebook Page[/url]

What do you all think?

Close, but they're still pretty different. The toque is much closer to the neck and the point on the top is much pointier/more defined.

My best guess is this is a community in Poland somewhere. I believe there are many Polish communities that still wear the full veil, [url="http://www.travelblog.org/Photos/516131"]http://www.travelblo...g/Photos/516131[/url]

I don't think so. The Vedrunas didn't have the pointed headpiece.[/quote]

Yes, like Ven. Teresita's [url="http://www.gesuiti.it/moscati/English/En_Tere_SME3.html"]here[/url] .. love her!! :love:

I heard back from the Formator (Novice Mistress) - she is happy that I applied. Now I just wait on the Chapter vote.... Carmelites take their time about these things.. you know, prayer and all that. :nunpray:


I'm happy with the Church Militant tag for now though! :clapping:

These are definitely NOT American nuns - I think in the year I have been discerning I have looked ate every single order in the US and I've never seen this. I am pretty sure we will find that they are European - possibly Canadian but I think European is a better bet. MAybe Polish - those Polish nuns do seem to have an affinity for odd headgear.

You're probably right, and since the photo came from a UK newspaper, these nuns could be from anywhere in Europe. I just don't have time to look up all the websites for nuns in the UK and Europe looking for them. It does seem to be a pre-vat 2 photo though.

So I found this [url="http://www.kwaczala.pl/2010/02/03/siostry-pasjonistki-mowily-o-powolaniu/"]here[/url] in a google image search for Katolickich siostry (warning .. you can get some crazy images doing this) .. but it's still pretty different

+Praised be Jesus Christ!

I tend to agree with all above - although just to be "different" - I would add that I believe these Sisters are most likely some sort of active Carmelite nuns.

Pax,
