Chapel Veils

FaithT · Wednesday at 4:08 PM

How many ladies here who attend the N.O. wear a Chapel Veil or Mantilla to Mass? And how common is wearing one in your parish? I’m starting to see more women wearing them…..there used to be just one lady that I saw. Now, I’ve seen maybe three or four. I’m wondering if it’s going to become a trend? I dont wear one nor do any of my friends but I remember as a child wearing one and mine had sparkles (rhinstones?on it. It was beautiful.

I always see a few. Not many but always some.

I see several. It depends on what Mass you attends but there are some at every Mass I have attended. You’ll see it during Adoration too.

Do you think this will become a thing again?

Do you wear one? Will you?

No I don’t wear one. I tend to think it’s a calling. If it was requested, I’d wear one.

I think they’re pretty but I won’t wear one unless it becomes a big thing.

I think wearing a Chapel Veil draws attention to oneself and if I wore one I’d be giving off the impression that I think I’m holier then thou.

Several. Then again, I live in the most conservative diocese in the nation. That's when I attend my parish. A vast majority do NOT.

At the tradional Latin Mass, almost all females (including infant girls and little girls) wear the veil. I've only seen maybe 1-2 at the TLM that don't.

I would think it would be less ‘holier than thou’ and more ‘humble before the Lord’ but then I suppose there are perceptions. If I were a woman I might do it if I thought it wouldn’t be seen as pretentious. Maybe at adoration.

That’s fair. That’s your choice.

Hypothetically, if you attended a Latin Mass, would you veil?

(I think ALL valid forms of Mass should be preserved and celebrated. Period.)

If others were veiling at the Latin Mass then I probably would too.

I think it is a little bit more of a thing than it was, but I think it will be a slow thing. I see a lot of it in the Ordinariate. A little in my parish. And among younger women too.
