Lil'Monster Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 [quote name='Sister Marie' timestamp='1323580337' post='2348974'] It seems appropriate to post this here... today I was driving to the Motherhouse and I was on the highway. I saw a little girl looking at me and she was smiling... it was super cute... THEN all of the sudden I look into the lane next to mine and I see a woman in the passenger seat with a camera looking at me. I don't know if she was taking video or pics but after they were done the man driving gave me a thumbs up and the kids were super cute smiling at me in the back of the car... you never know when you're going to get a nun picture... [/quote] If we ever meet in real life, I am gonna take tons of pictures of you...especially when you are not looking... im sneaky

As you can see, the kerchief covers the chin. It was actually a second piece, not actually attached to the guimpe. [/quote] Ooooooh! So the kerchief covered the head & chin & [i]then [/i]the veil went on top! Ok, now I get it! I was picturing something like this: [img]http://www.esprit-photo.com/images/photos-reportage/03_tiberiade_soeurs/200pix/D2215846_1.jpg[/img]

I also like this one of the Novice and Postulant removing the pall from her during the solemn profession .(can't see her in the pic) [img]http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab166/nunsense/pall.jpg[/img]
Nunsense Posted December 15, 2011 Posted December 15, 2011 And I posted this on another thread but just thought it was so cute... for all of us who were meant to be nuns! lol [img]http://www.comicsfornerds.net/Assets/Images/Pics/BabyHalloweenCostume9.gif[/img]
Totally Franciscan Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 Nunsense, what community is this, the one you just posted. Looks like they take "mature" vocations. I would be interested in finding out about them. Thanks.

Looks like they take "mature" vocations. I would be interested in finding out about them. Thanks. [/quote] I thought you were 'Totally Franciscan"? These women are Benedictines you know! They are the Benedictine Sisters of Corpus Christi Monastery They do have an email address on the site and a contact us page but I don't suggest you try either of these contact methods. I sent probably 4 or 5 emails via their contact page and their email address, all with no response. I then phone then and left a voicemail, no response. I suggest either snail mail or phoning until you get them. Being in Oz, it is harder for me to do this. They do take mature vocations and there is a lovely article about them online that I copied if anyone wants to read it I can post it here or in another thread (this is supposed to be a picture thread after all!!) They have photos posted on their website of a Clothing and a Profession but they never seem to update it so I assume they are not online much (if at all) and perhaps a friend of the convent put this site up for them?

Totally Franciscan Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 Thanks, Nunsense. Yes, I am Totally Franciscan, but the Franciscans won't accept "mature" vocations. I would very much like to read that article you have, but as you say, it might be better on another thread.
