Libcath2000 Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Hello all, I saw this gentleman at a local airport (USA) and was wondering what order he belonged to. Never seen a habit like this. He was going to Rome. So help my curiosity if you have ever seen this habit. Also, Admins, apologies if this is in the wrong phorum please feel free to move it.
John Paul Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Order of the BVM of Mercy ?????? http://orderofmercy.org They often confuse people into thinking they are dominicans.It is hard to tell with their back to the picture.
truthfinder Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 That habit looks blue, though - Libcath can you confirm? If such is the case, it most certainly is not Mercerdarian.

Libcath2000 Posted April 8, 2015 Author Posted April 8, 2015 Thanks everyone for the replies. That habit looks blue, though - Libcath can you confirm? If such is the case, it most certainly is not Mercerdarian. The habit was a light blue, with the white scapular down the front and back and that large white "cincture" (is that what its called?) Also the shoulder cape (with hood) opened in the front and there was a medal in the middle that had initials like "JTS" or something like that
