When the Congregation is established, the sisters will wear a white tunic with black scapular and capelet, and a black veil
attached to a white cap. The sisters in final profession will wear a capelet with an embroidered white Latin cross.
Novas will wear a white blouse, skirt, veil, tights, and shoes.
Postulants will add a short black capelet to the Nova's habit.
Novices will receive the white veil, tunic and black scapular. However, the capelet will have a red Latin cross.
When a sister makes Temporary Profession, she will receive the black veil. The capelet cross will be blue.
Novices and professed will carry a 20-decade rosary in their pocket.
The sisters will have two habits--one for on-the-job, and one for the convent. Additionally, they will dress according to
the ministry, which means civvies (lay clothes) will be permitted, if necessary.
The convent habit was described above.
The work habit -- for those working in non-religious areas -- will be a black skirt suit, with plain silver cross on the
left lapel, and short, black headband veil. If necessary, the veil and cross will be left off.
