Looking for a few good Women, who Sew Mantillas for the Church

By Rita Davidson

Since I first wrote my book, “Immodesty, Satan’s Virtue” in 1999, things have changed dramatically. One area that blossomed has been headcoverings for women. My Chapter on Veils was one of the earliest writings looking at bringing back headcoverings for Catholic women. As my book is now going into it’s 3^rd Edition I want to reach out to the women who have been creating and making veils for the faithful. But first, I want to share a story of a friend I was privileged to know.

Susan Scott made veils. She was one of my best friends and biggest supporter of my work. She had Immaculate Heart Mantillas and a great devotion to Our Lady especially Our Lady of Fatima. For many years she worked at making veils and vestments and touched many lives in the process. She had epilepsy and no computer, so I designed and created a website for her and hosted it. I also designed many of her advertisements that ran in newspapers.

Over the years she shared with me stories of the lack of charity shown her by those she knew. I was sad for all she suffered. I comforted her then and other times when she was trying to make ends meet. Her faith was nothing but inspiring. She told me stories of having a seizure in her apartment and waking up with a gash across her face needing 40+ stitches. Another time, she had a seizure and broke her ankle. She would just chuckle saying God sure had a sense of humor. She lived alone and I feared for her, though all she wanted was to die with the Sacraments.

She wanted nothing more than to do God’s will. She lived and worked for the  Glorification of God and His most blessed Mother. She in turn blessed me with statues and relics from her travels to Apparition sites of our Lady from around the world. She always encouraged me with her knowledge, her humor, her wit and friendship. We pulled the best out of each other.

After our fire, she was our biggest supporter. She reached out to priests she knew to get them to support us. I still have a box with toys she sent my boys Christmas 2013. They never got opened and she sadly passed away, alone, January 11, 2014 at the age of 64.

It was such a heartbreak not being able to say goodbye to such a good friend. She had done so much for my own faith. We were struggling living homeless after our fire and barely able to get to a phone.

Since then I have prayed how I can repay her back for her great faith and friendship.

“Immaculate Heart Veil Registry”

will be my memorial page for Susan.

I am honored to release this on today’s Feast of Our Lady of Fatima May 13, 2015. As you can see the only picture I have of Susan is at Fatima at the spot of the Apparition of the Angel. A very fitting picture to remember her by.

What I want, is to turn her website into a Veil Resource for those searching for headcoverings for Mass.

I supported Susan through the years with business advice, graphic design, sourcing suppliers and building a website. I now want to pay that back to the community of women who are filling a great need, in the Church.

What is the “Immaculate Heart Veil Registry”?

It will be a FREE annually renewing; comprehensive website resource specifically for women who are sewing veils at home, supporting their families with a second income. It will eventually be Categorized by Country, so open to anyone in the US, Canada, U.K and Australia.

This is Not a listing for Companies, or Stores that simply “ship” veils.

YOUR FREE LISTING will include:

1. A FREE custom review of your veil business done by me, with a custom photo, your contact information and website link back to you.
2. Once a month I will highlight one veil business and send it out FREE to my LITTLE FLOWERS FAMILY list.
3. This Veil resource will be available in google searches and from the front page of my website bringing traffic back to your website for FREE. (yes, really for free, my gift to other women, like Susan).
4. This page will also be included in my upcoming 3^rd Edition book, “Immodesty, Satan’s Virtue” to thousands of my readers.
5. Future plans may include business advice, advertising advice, or how to start a business depending on your need and interest.
