I couldn't find the order that it is associated with. But then again my interweb research skills are not that great.

OnlySunshine Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 I have no idea what DEF stands for either.
faithcecelia Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 I have been having a search and found one possible suggestion that it is Daughters of the Church - on the list I saw, which I can't now find again they were shown as D.C/D.E.F but I don't know what it would actually stand for. On the Daughters of the Church website they do seem to wear various habits in pink but none exactly the same as hers, and I have not managed to find anything that confirms that Sr Mary Lucy is in fact a Daughter of the Church. So really, I'm another 'I don't know'
HopefulBride Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Found it! D.E.F. stands for Daughters of the Eternal Father. They are in Omaha, Nebraska and right now do not have a web presence.. I'll see if I can get more info on them.
brandelynmarie Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 I was really hoping for pink Dominicans

brandelynmarie Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Found one teeny little thread on yahoo that says: A new set of pink sisters--pink and white adaptation of the Nashville Dominican habit: white tunic, pink scapular and capelet, pink veil for professed, white for novices; black belt with five decade rosary, little red heart probably on the capelet. Head and shoulders photo of the foundress: [url="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thereligioushabit/message/4443"]http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thereligioushabit/message/4443[/url] I knew it!

TeresaBenedicta Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 I was there at the Feast... just so beautiful! (In fact, that first pic was taken by yours truly!)

I love spending feast days with nuns!!!!!! [/quote] Well, I get to spend [i]everyday[/i] with nuns. Haha. But the Feast was just... magnificent!! We got up there for the solemn celebration of Matins on the vigil of the Feast. Incense, adoration, chant, ahhh!!! In a brand new, beautiful, newly dedicated church!!! Then we went back to one of the convents for a long night of recreation, which was just a blast- lots of singing and dancing and candy eating and catching up with sisters I hadn't seen in ages. The day of the Feast was... great. We got together for brunch in the morning (picture was taken just after we ate). Then the apostolic sisters went to go set up for the feast. We (formation houses) joined for lunch, then helped prepare some more... Then a holy hour, followed by solemn vespers, and then the breath-taking Holy Mass!! A huge party afterwards, and then even more partying back at the convent... haha, it was an exhausting two days, but it was great!!
