Why do some sisters wear a veil and others don’t?
Some sisters wear veils because traditionally, in the church, this was the recognized form of clothing for a member of a religious community. These sisters prefer to honor that tradition. Other sisters have chosen a different outward sign/symbol of their religious lifestyle commitment: a special cross, a ring, or a pin, that represents their specific community. The outward sign of how sisters relate in care and concern is the most compelling witness to God’s love.
