If you didn't already know, you may have guessed from photos on this blog and our website (http://www.stemma.org/) that our habits are not something "off the rack!" Our traditional black, floor-length habits and scapulars follow simple patterns and lines yet are customized to each nun. The greatest joy for all of us is when a habit is being made to clothe a new novice.
While not everyone in the monastery knows how to sew, those who do it well provide a very much needed ministry to the rest of the community.
Our habit provides the outward sign of our inward desire to follow Christ more closely and to remind us to imitate Him more and more.
