Reception To The Habit

[Lily May Gath]

Hi, has anyone been to the reception to the habit or vestition, particularly in a Dominican community?
Could you share what the ceremony is or what happens?
Thanks

Three photos from three different vestitions at the Carmelite monastery in Covington, Louisiana:

Here's a video - it's a Dominican ceremony, I believe of the Hawthorne Dominican sisters in New York;

These pictures are from 2010 but still give a good idea on the reception of the habit for the DSMME.
