Synopsis
Excerpt from Hand-Book of the Mary J. Drexel Home and Philadelphia Motherhouse of Deaconesses
Deaconesses are called Sisters because of their fellowship of faith and love in Christ as the daughters of one Mother house, and because they are to minister to those who are committed to their care, in true sisterly love.
To designate their office, the Sisters wear a special garb which is, however, not the habit of an order. This garb or habit is meant to be nothing more than a dignified, practical, plain, and inexpensive dress, not subject to the changes of fashion, and corresponding in the main to the plain attire in vogue during the first half of this century, when the Female Diaconate was revived. The habit is of value not only because of its neatness, but also because it secures to the Sisters a large measure of support and protection in their work.
In the Sisterhood are Nursing Sisters, Teaching Sisters, and Parish Sisters, according to the three principal spheres of their ministry, the care of the sick and the needy, the in struction and training of the young, and the assistance of pastors in such work as these may assign them.
