They do not take vows but live in community and pretty much live as religious. They were founded in Brazil by Father John Scognamiglio Clá Dias.

ReplyDeleteWhere's the catapult?
ReplyDelete...guess they are working different fields with those boots ....
ReplyDeleteMust be fashion week at Abbey Roads! These habits are REALLY out there. The men look happy in the photo, which is good to see. Personally, I wouldn't be able to consider the Order BECAUSE of the habit. I couldn't wear it.
ReplyDeleteBl. Anna Maria looks a whole lot better than she did the other day, doesn't she? (Actually, I like the way she looks in the satin and bonnet. She looks like she went to sleep at the end of the 18th century.)
Michael - LOL! It is like fashion week isn't it.

ReplyDeleteLow class. I am researching them and they are a very big order and very strong.
