Can anyone here please point me in the direction of a clear on-line photo of a priest/brother wearing a traditional Jesuit cassock (not a semi Jesuit cassock) with the large Rosary that shows all the detail?

I cannot find a single one on the web. I have heard them described and I believe I saw Fr. Mitch Pacwa wear one a single time on EWTN. Thank you.

Fr Mitch did wear his cassock on Weds night for EWTN Live. Check EWTN to see if you can find the video of the show…

He didnt have a large rosary however. Just his cassock

I have read where most Jesuits stopped wearing the Rosary with their cassocks in the 1950’s and the cassocks themselves in the 1960’s. I am amazed that I cannot find an old photo on the web.
 
Something like this representation of St Isaac Jogues? There appears to be a rosary handing off, or perhaps entwined with, the cincture.

Th habit of the Jesuits are defined as the dress of any priest in good standing.

I asked for photos of a Jesuit-style cassock, hopefully with a Rosary. I did not ask for the definition of a Jesuit habit.

I was saying that as far as I am aware there is no Jesuit style cassock.
 
Thank you all for the photos. They are really quite fascinating to me. They remind me a bit of the Redemptorist’s habits.

I know the Pope’s simar derives from the white Dominican habit and that before that, the Pope’s day to day garb was largely red. In non-official settings, I think it might be very nice (and humble!) to see Pope Francis wearing a very simple Jesuit cassock with the rosary once in a while.
 
I know several Jesuit priests who are 85 years old and over and none of them wear a Rosary. They carry one and pray the Rosary at least once a day, but they do not wear won in plan site around their neck.

According to this site, there never really officially was a “Jesuit habit”

Have your heard otherwise?

(edit…another link…Offical Jesuit website)

jesuitvocation.org/about/faq.shtml

Do Jesuits wear a habit?

From our foundation Jesuits have always worn the garb of “a priest in good standing,” and we do not have a distinctive religious habit.

Are you referring to my post or to the OP’s references to the “Jesuit Cassock”?

The photos provided here show the priests (or they might be Jesuit brothers whose cassocks are identical) with a large crucifix on a lanyard around their necks and large rosaries attached to their cinctures/belts.

Sorry for the confusion, I was referring to the OP.

From that link I posted, there never was a Jesuit habit.
Was curious if he had heard (or just assumed) otherwise. 🙂

I posted a link to an official Jesuit site. There has never been an official Jesuit habit in all of their history. 🙂

Hope that helps.

Not only did I not make any assumptions with respect to Jesuit “habits”, I never even asked about their existence.

I asked about photos of Jesuit-style cassocks which some were kind enough to provide.

I hope that clears up any confusion on your part.

We weren’t confused at all, though it sounds as though you might be.😉 There is no Jesuit style cassock, because the Jesuits wear whatever is the garb of a priest in good standing. Plenty of non-Jesuits have worn the cassock that you are looking for before any Jesuit wore it.🙂

I apologize if I ruffled your feathers. 🙂

I was trying to be helpful. I’m sorry if that wasnt clear. 🙂

Perhaps this other link may be of some help

jesuit.org/about/faqs/

““Historically, a “Jesuit-style cassock” became standard issue: it wrapped around the body and was tied with a cincture, rather than the customary buttoned front, a tuftless biretta (only diocesan clergy wore tufts), and a simple cape. As such, though Jesuit garb appeared distinctive, and became identifiable over time, it was the common priestly dress of Ignatius’ day. During the missionary periods of the Continental Americas, the various American Indian tribes referred to Jesuits as “Blackrobes” because of their black cassocks. Today, most Jesuits wear the Roman collar tab shirts in non-liturgical, ministerial settings.””

There are pics showing up on google images if that is of any help.
