Is the sister closest to the grille wearing a greyish-blue habit from St. C's (maybe a work-habit or something) or is she from a different community?

I think she must have been a visiting sister because our work habits are a different colour to that.

It's so exciting the PCPA's in Tonopah, AZ have a new postulant. They lost several Sisters since they arrived including Sr. Johanna, their first novice whose name I can't remember, Sr. Augustine Marie, and lastly Sr. Esther Marie.

This morning I served All Souls Mass at the basilica of the Daughters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I never noticed it before, but their collar and the piece going around the head aren't attached. Nevertheless, the habits are beautiful!
The basilica is such a nice building. Especially the high altar and its ciborium (4 pillars, each with an angel on top of it holding a corner of a "piece of cloth"). I'll try to take a picture when I go back this evening for the second Mass.

For the ones interested, I just found out they have convents in Belgium, France, Austria, Switserland, Italy and Croatia.

Temporary vows of some French Dominican Sisters in the cave where Saint Mary Magdalene lived!

I would love to find out how the poor clares of our lady of the angels monastery get there headpiece to be rectangular...square. Anyone have any ideas??? Thanks

[TheresaThoma]

It looks like their headpiece is very similar to the SMMC, and I know a little bit about how their "headgear" is constructed There is a little cap with a piece of lightweight plastic that creates the band across the forehead. Then in the veil itself there is another piece of plastic so it is stiff and makes that "rectangle" shape.

I often wonder how long it takes the PCPAs, Carmelites of the Sacred Heart, and the SMMCs to get used to the tight wimple around their neck. I have a real issue with turtlenecks because I have always had a sensitive neck area and it feels like they are choking me. I hated when people touched my neck as a kid. I don't know if I could get used to always having something over my neck unless it was loose like the Carmelites or Poor Clare Colettines.

The PCCA's have 3-4 snaps on the top of their headgear that attaches the veil. Of course, the veil has the corresponding snaps on it as well And yes, I know this to be a fact as I asked one of my friends who is a PCCA in Charlotte about it and she promptly unsnapped and reshaped part of her veil to show me. Nifty, huh?

I have no clue about other Poor Clares, since their habits tend to differ slightly, but the Roswell PCCs wimple is tight around their neck! Their bib/kerchief is nice and loose though. I only know this because of a story where a novice was clothed and she said that she felt really constricted by the headgear for a few days after the investiture! I hear you get pretty attached to the feeling of having your head and neck 'cuddled' after a while though.

LOL, I honestly thought the PCCs wimple was loose. I'm pretty sure the Discalced Carmelites have a loose one.
