Chiquitunga Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 [quote name='MaterMisericordiae' timestamp='1308115114' post='2253938'] [img]http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cQ2xhpZfenk/SQhF_wFW98I/AAAAAAAADWA/h-CyHbieF3g/s1600/Imperia%2BVirgins%2Bi.JPG[/img] [/quote] These are indeed the Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate, but the contemplative branch who wear the giumpe. To join them one must go through formation as a regular (active/contemplative) FI Sister first and then it is discerned later if you're being called to the wholly contemplative life, and you can always be asked to return to active/contemplative life. A little more on them and more pictures [url="http://www.newliturgicalmovement.org/2009/11/contemplative-franciscan-sisters-of.html"]here[/url] & [url="http://catholicactionuk.blogspot.com/2009/03/contemplative-nuns-in-cornwall.html"]here[/url]. They took over the oldest Carmel in the UK. The [url="http://www.mtstfrancis.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=16&Itemid=9"]Poor Clares of the Immaculate[/url] (of the same FI family) are only in Italy so far. I believe it's 4 monasteries they have there. Their habit is a little different .. the veil is a darker/deeper light blue, the giumpe/wimple goes down farther in front and the mantle is blue also. Beautiful Poor Clares! Would be wonderful if they made a foundation in the US some day.

I still have to email Sr. Lois about going though.
Little Flower Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 is it a private ceremony they don't want people going to?

Investiture is private, but 1st and final profession and postulant entrance are all open to the public.

I want my family to be there when I receive the habit! I'll talk to my parents and see if they'll agree to drive me up there *sigh* I wish I could drive. but my parents won't even let me get a permit.

I've never seen men's habits made shorter (like we do with women's). Looking at the picture, you see the sisters' habits are a few inches shorter. I wonder if practicality really has much to do with it at all... in fact, I imagine men doing more crazy things that might be obstructed by a longer habit. Granted, I also can't imagine men wearing a modified habit.

[/quote] I wonder if, in part, its that a good number of men do not wear the habit all the time, so take it off for occasions when it could get in the way? At Q the habit tended to get shorter as the sister got older. My first NM, a few months after I entered, reluctantly decided to shorten hers. She was sacristan and so up and down the stairs all the time withthings in her hands and was worried about tripping (she came close a number of times).

[/quote] That's my guess. For reasons I do not understand at all, men's communities seem to vary quite a bit in how often they wear their habits/clerical garb. Women's communities tend to be more all-or-nothing. But given that all-or-nothing that seems to be common for women, it makes sense to me that more women's communities have modified theirs more, or a "this pin is our habit" sort of thing, whereas you almost never see that for men's communities -- even those that would be considered roughly equivalently "progressive."
