What a wonderful Dominican congregation of sisters. Perhaps one of the many Italian congregations? I hope this particular community has many vocations. And yes, Sisters like these are a "precious witness"....not the aged habitless femminist nuns that unfortunatly have become the majority (but not for long)
"It's a French congregation, dominicaines du Saint Esprit..."
I copied this from a poster.
I don't think so. I know what the Dominicaines du Saint Esprit habit looks like, and though this is similar, the wimple/bib is bigger on this community pictured, than the ones the Dominicaines du Saint Esprit wear. I think it's one of a few Italian congregations of active Dominican sisters which kept the habit.
