Nuns In Yellow Habits, Very Light Yellow And Gauze Veils?

[birschraz]

We were in Rome June of 2012, and I saw the most beautiful nun in full habit on a bridge, she had a buttermilk yellow habit on with a long veil, even her rosary with big beads was buttermilk yellow. Can some one let me know the name of her order. I almost thought she was the Virgin Mary, she was so pretty! Thank You, Laura Birschbach

Moving here for a speedier answer. ;)

I saw the yellow habits when I was in Rome 5 years ago too.  I never could find out who they were

Did it look like this? (On a real person of course, lol not a doll)

It might have been the Poor Nuns of Jesus and Mary?

here's a Loretto Sister with a yellow habit, although it's not as you described, http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_20879698/colorado-sisters-loretto-celebrate-300-years-service  thought I'd share though :proud:

LOL, I almost posted that earlier but I though, "Nah, that couldn't be the one."  :blush:

Chiqui and Mater,

 

I don't think the Sister in yellow is the Loretto Sister - they don't wear habits.  From the text below the photo, I think the Sister in Yellow is Sr. Emily, who is VISITING with the Loreetto Sisters.

I'm NOT open to starting a habit debate again, but I think we need to get our facts straight in case someone comes here looking for info.  

 

I'd be curious to know which African community wears those however, so this is indeed a lead!

most likely it is not, as she described it a bit differently, but thought I'd post anyway .. I think this is the only yellow habited Sister I've ever seen .. pretty neat! :like: I hope we find those yellow Sisters in Rome though ...  :detective:

 

edit: the phorum is only posting part of my posts again, ahhh

Thanks AnneLine! I was thinking maybe she was a Loretto Sister in Ghana visiting the Loretto Sisters here. But you're right, she is not. Here's the community, http://www.lorettocommunity.org/mission-work/global-loretto/sister-community-with-the-holy-family-sisters-in-guatemala/   Daughters of the Most Blessed Trinity

 

I don't think the Sister birschraz saw in Rome was from this community though .. :think:

nvm.

 

I actually did not post that she is from Loretto.  I'm on the hunt to see which community it is.

The Sister posted with the Loretto community is from the community called the Daughters of the Most Blessed Trinity.  :)

TJMH and the171, I bet you are right! or very good guess at least! that habit could come off as yellow .. and with her describing the veil as gauze, them being in Italy, and they look like the Virgin Mary in your profile picture TJMH at least  :proud:
