If you are attending a regular OF Mass on Sunday or Saturday evening…you will see very, very few head coverings. Maybe one or two in a packed Church of several hundred people.

If you attend daily Mass in the morning…the number jumps to 25% or so.

If you attend the Latin Mass…it’s probably closer to 50%.

This is a parish that is far more conservative then any of the other parishes in the surrounding area.

Personally…I prefer scarfs over my hair. I have a couple of pretty ones that I wear to Mass on occasion.

My daughter loves them and has been known to “hide” them on me. So I can’t always find them when we are getting ready for Church.

I find they stay on my head far better…especially when I use a couple of bobby pins to keep them on. Stylish, practical and still traditional IMHO.

My daughter is 18 months and would yank a veil off of my head before I make through the Church door and then make a massive fuss if I refused to let her have it. It wouldn’t matter if I gave her a veil of her own. She’d want the cool thing on mommy’s head.

Scarfs don’t hang as loosely over the head and can be secured in place.

Would you agree this practice is simply a local convention, and not of greater significance?
I agree that this is completely local. I’ve attended Mass on three continents, and find myself blessed to be with my current parish.
