Deus te Amat Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 [quote name='Libcath2000' timestamp='1328793404' post='2384183'] Another order outside of full communion, employing a rather unique habit.

They seemed to be having quite the time attempting to get through the pat down procedure.

OnlySunshine Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 The Sisters of Social Service in 1938. Check out the very unusual veils. It looks like veil material on top of a brimmed hat. [img]http://www.catholicvoiceoakland.org/2008/2008images/2008_0804_FrPhillipsSocial.jpg[/img]

Libcath2000 Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Of the last 3 orders shown above, only the Sisters of the Holy Family still utilize a discernible habit today.

Lots of postulents! I'm so happy for them. "My order" has four postulents....
EmilyAnn Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 ^ Four is pretty good! There are orders that haven't had a new entrant in years. My community currently has two novices, one in temporary vows due to take solemn vows soon and the other due to take temporary vows. There are a few new entrants expected this year, three or four I think.

Queen'sDaughter Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 I will be one of four aspirants entering the Benedictines of Mary this year. They currently have two posulants and six novices, so for a monastic order they are doing rather well!

Libcath2000 Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Happy Shrove Tuesday everyone . . . I don't know much about this order, except that they are a new foundation from Cameroon, founded by two French nationals. [img]http://i42.tinypic.com/30wr294.jpg[/img]
