(I Corinthians XI:10)
Modesty Chapel Veils specializes in custom made, reasonably priced, lace chapel veils for women and girls. First Holy Communion veils are also available, currently in two styles. The chapel veils come in a few colors and several styles and sizes.
Modesty Chapel Veils officially began on February 14, 1994 in a small New Hampshire town. After having made chapel veils for ourselves, we had requests from friends and acquaintances to make veils for them to buy. With having visited different chapels and churches, wearing our veils, women were inquiring as to where they could buy veils, so Modesty Chapel Veils began.
On February 14, 1994, our then 16 year old daughter, Kelly, began the business. My husband, Ralph, made templates for the various sizes of veils, which has been a real timesaver in cutting veils. I, myself, would help with the cutting of the veils when I had time. In 1999, Kelly married and moved away from NH, taking the veil making business with her. Shortly before the birth of her first child in March of 2000, Kelly decided to end the business. At that time I knew it couldn't end as more and more women were wearing chapel veils and also looking to continue buying them. Kelly had built up a small clientele, which I hated to disappoint, so I took it over and now run the business here from southeastern Wisconsin, where I currently reside with my husband and our daughter, Mary, the youngest of our 5 children. I am presently the only one who cuts and sews the veils, but I hope to build up enough business to need more help.
I believe we are unique in that Modesty Veils is a small, Catholic, home based business devoted to the making, selling, and wearing chapel veils because we do so in respect of the Blessed Sacrament, which is ever present in the tabernacles of all Catholic churches, and as quoted from a book in progress entitled "The Unveiled Woman", by Jackie Freppon. St. Paul advises women to cover their head in church because:
Our Lord commanded it;
It is a visible sign of an invisible order established by God;
The Angels at Mass are offended if women don't use it;
It is a ceremonial vestment;
It is our heritage.
I use very fine quality laces in a variety of colors with matching lace trims. Each veil is custom made and carefully sewn by myself, a seamstress of over 30 years. Orders are processed as soon as they come in. I cut, sew and mail as quickly as I can to please each customer. No reasonable request for veils is denied. Special orders may cost more due to materials, but don't be afraid to ask if you don't see quite what you want on the site!
If you have questions or comments, please feel free to contact us.
May God bless you and our Lady watch over you always.
In the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts of Jesus and Mary,
