I noticed that too.

I haven’t see a nun wearing a habit in YEARS, likely decades, it’s been so long.

The Traditional Catholic apostolates are the only growing novitiates, for both men to the priesthood and women to the religious life as a nun or a sister. Nevertheless, over all, there is historic decline since Vatican II.

Yes, there are many young women entering the convents. This group is our Discalced Carmelites gals here in Pasadena area. They run a retirement home near here, wonderful women. This is not the entire group pictured.
