This Order used to be fairly strong in the USA, in the MidWest particularly. Before Vatican II of course!!!!!

Now, it's practically gone from the USA. Down to less than 70 (from about 300 before Vatican II in the USA).
Beautiful habit. Very unique.
Glad to see it worn with pride.

As a resident of Rome, do you think the days of the "tab-clerical collar" and black shirt priests, and the layclothes monks and friars might be giving way back to proper religious habits and cassocks...even alittle?
