AveMariaPurissima Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Anybody know them? http://www.solisisters.ca/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savvy Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Yes, I discerned with them a long time back. They are a beautiful community, if someone is called to them. I was not. Their charism is to pray for lapsed Catholics. Their apostolates are catechesis, and caring care of the elderly. Most of them are young. I had lunch with one of their founders, since they have two. She was really sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristinaTherese Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 This is a really random comment, but did you notice their veils? It appears that they have either a band or a cap (I can't tell which, of course) of a stretchy ridged knit fabric (I don't know the name... but my grandmother would, although I'm not going to ask her any times soon) around their heads and they pin the veil on over that. It looks like a wonderful design to me, since it's so easy to make (to appearances, as I'm just looking at what I can see) and would easily fit many different heads.

hoosieranna Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 (edited) A former PMer entered them a while ago. I think she's Sister Marguerite. She'd be perpetually professed by now if she stayed. She used to post after entering. Edited July 25, 2013 by Nadezhda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totally Franciscan Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Under the Vocations drop box, Meet The Sisters, Sr. Marguerite is listed as 5th year temporary professed! Thanks be to God! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximillion Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Those caps are pretty standard in the religious life world. They are used widely by lots of communities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stlmom Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I believe there is another former PM'er in the temporary professed here--though I'm not sure of her PM name, I think it had "Therese" in it. She has been featured in some of their vocation videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truthfinder Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Maximillion, I think what was being pointed out about the caps was the fabric from which they are made. I've noticed it before too - it almost looks like some sort of soft t-shirt like-knit material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristinaTherese Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Maximillion, I think what was being pointed out about the caps was the fabric from which they are made. I've noticed it before too - it almost looks like some sort of soft t-shirt like-knit material. Yep. And the fantastic thing is that that kind of fabric is so extremely stretchy that you could probably easily have just one pattern and put it on any head. If someone had an unusually large or small head it might have to be adjusted, but that's probably pretty rare. And if it's like I'm thinking it's probably very comfortable too, so if it's stretched a bit tight it shouldn't be much of a problem as far as comfort. (Besides which, it's just fun to look at habits (okay, and a lot of other things) and reverse engineer how they were made.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlySunshine Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 My online friend, Rochelle, entered there and is now a novice who was clothed in the religious habit on September 8th, 2011. She is now known as Sr. Margaret Mary. I believe she is scheduled to make First Vows later this year (possibly on Sept. 8th). I remember Sr. Marie-Therese's s/n here on Phatmass. It was Mari Therese and she is currently in temporary vows which she took last year. :) http://solisisters.ca/blog/2012/08/28/first-profession-of-vows-of-sr-marie-therese/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeteorShower Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 (edited) Hi there! I was in contact with their former vocation director, Sister Mary Catherine, for a long time via phone and email. She is a wonderful Sister and she cared very much about helping me on my vocational journey, regardless of where God was ultimately calling me. Along with caring for the elderly and catechism, they are also in the early stages of expanding into school teaching. They seem a very lovely and holy community!
