I would love a veil. No one wears one at my church but I feel called to do so.

Ooh! How exciting! I have been admiring your veils for a long time. I am a mother to 5 little ones. The sew in comb looks like a great solution to what seems like the constant shifting, tugging, and readjusting during mass. :) Thank you, Lily (and company) for the beautiful work you are doing for Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament.
I will be emailing my friends and family about your giveaway as well as sharing this with a FB group. libeth105@hotmail
I'm very impressed with the quality of your veils. I would love to get another. I will also share this on my Facebook page.
Peace be with you.

This is great. I've wanted one of your veils since you first opened your store. There are so many beautiful ones to choose from, it would be a hard choice.
I love the veils that I have ordered and have gotten quite a few compliments on the ones that I have. Posting to Facebook as well! :)robingrear@gmail.com
I also posted this on my facebook page.
I'd love one as well~~
I lost my veil while moving to a different city. I'm now a member of a parish where no one wears a veil. I'd love to start the veil movement in my new parish!

Well if I won, I might feel a bit guilty, since I won another before :) But... I blogged it and facebooked it :)
I shared the contest with some friends using email and instant messaging!
This just might be the extra motivation I need to start wearing a veil again...I stopped for a while because the baby's kept pulling them off and it seemed like such a distraction. These are beautiful! Oh, and I'll share on facebook!
megieanna@yahoo.com
Oh done and done! I'll post about this on my blog tomorrow and I'll hit you up on FB tonight. Wonderful idea!!! I love your veils!!!

These are very beautiful!!!
How timely! I was just preparing to place another order. My daughters and I have begun wearing our veils to church. While we are the only ones (and it was awkward for my teenage daughters at first), we all now love wearing them. We have had several people comment after mass how lovely the veils are and one lady even said she was going to start wearing hers again. I am sending an email about your your give away to my friends that first got me interested in veiling. Megan (bandermom@yahoo.com)
Your veils are beautiful. I ordered two over a month ago and am eagerly awaiting their arrival so my daughter and I can begin wearing them. Thank you!

Lily,
Thank you for making high quality veils affordable and available!! Until I found your website, I was attempting to make my own. I enjoy the 2 veils I have purchased from you and plan on purchasing more in the future! My best friend, for whom I bought another veil, really enjoys hers as well! I have also posted about this giveaway on my facebook!
Mary Beth
Happily posted in my Facebook profile and in my Catholic Women's Group (99 members)...I admire your work!
I worked my way from headbands, to scarves, and finally to traditional mantillas! I feel blessed to attend mass at a Brigittine monastery where the majority (can you believe it??) of women wear veils!
Pax et bonum,

Wearing a veil has been such a blessing for me. It helps to remind me how humble Mary is. If I am choosen to receive a veil, I will give it to a friend who has been praying about veiling!
God Bless!
Thank you for the giveaway, I will try my luck!
Pax,

A number of women wear veils at my church (it's the ordinary form of Mass). I always liked seeing their veils, and once I got more comfortable, I started wearing veils myself. My friends started as well. I'm grateful for a Church in which we can practice traditions like this-- we're not limited only to the fashions of the outside world. :) I'm going to email my friends about your giveaway too! oiboyz@gmail.com
I am excited about this drawing. I have been wearing my veil since Easter, and it has been such a blessing.
Peace,

My son gave me my first mantilla when I was baptised in 2010 on Easter, so ever since I have always worn one. I bought my second one (dark Blue) from Lily.I would like to give one to a friend if I win this one. I shall share on facebook. Dominus Vobiscum
I would love a free mantilla! God bless you!

I have a beautiful black veil and I just love it. My step dad commented on it when he took me to mass when I was staying with them for the weekend. He's not Catholic, but mentioned that it was refreshing to see someone commited to the faith. I do wish I had gotten one with a comb, but still, your work is beautful! I'll be linking you on FB as well. : )
Your veils are beautiful!! I've been trying to decide which one to get.
I posted this on my tumblr blog: www.karlitay.tumblr.com as well.
God bless!

Looking forward to the drawing! I do not have a veil yet, but I am anxious to order one soon! They are beautiful and elegant.
I love wearing a veil! Thanks for the contest! I'll also post on my fb page! Thanks!

I ordered a Veil by Lilly, my very first veil. It's black mantilla style done in chantilly lace with a Venetian lace trim. As soon as I opened the package I was overjoyed...it's just so beautiful! I wasn't sure how I would feel wearing it in church and I'm happy to report that it feels just right, as if it's something I've always done. Now I'm experimenting with wearing it in different ways. Thank you so much Lilly and may God bless you! I feel my life and my worship are more complete now that I have my veil.
I am the only woman who wears a Mantilla to Church when I go to Mass and during the week.Your chapel veils are beautiful- and even though nobody has critcized me for wearing a veil- NOBODY HAS SAID A THING ABOUT IT...I feel that perhaps they want to follow suit... I hope to start a trend here.
Thank you for this giveaway and opportunity to check out veiling!
mamalam4@gmail.com
I love to wear a veil at Mass and at Eucharistic Adoration...I am the only woman who does this, but I am never criticized for doing so. I love to wear veils that match the weekly Liturgy.
Lovely! I would love to win one.
I have been wistfully in love with your veils for months, but a college budget doesn't leave me with any room for one - until now! I have posted about this in the Catholic Facebook group for my Newman Center where several young women wear veils, and I'd love to be able to give one of yours to someone who wants to veil but can't afford a really nice one.
Hi! I recently purchased a custom made veil for my daughther's
First Communion, it was absolutely gorgeous. I have 7 sisters every one of
them was enamored, in addition it was very
well made and you were very helpful with measurements. Since then she has worn it 2 more times. I have been meaning to thank you, this is my opportunity so thank you from the bottom of my heart.
How neat! I have not been one to wear a mantilla, but have felt urged by the Lord to begin. This would help me a lot, as I have no mantilla right now!
i love the veil i purchase from you, i received it last week and it has made a big hit at my parish where only one lady continues to veil, well now it is two. thank you lily, i would love one to gift.
Kimberly B., also on FB and blog.
I hope to win one for my wife. She deserves another beautiful veil in her wardrobe. And I am posting this on facebook as well.
I love my veil, and I would love another :)
This is awesome.
The only real way to contact me is either through my website or twitter @chrisorbuster.
I'll make sure to let others know about the raffle/giveaway. :)
My wife and 3 other women in our parish have begun to wear mantillas after much discernment. There have been some side remarks and rolling of the eyes but we believe this is showing respect to Our Lord. I would love to win one of your beautiful mantillas for my wife, Pat.
God Bless,

I have admired the many different styles and colors of mantilla's offered, I would love to win one and have mentioned your site to other women, choosing only one would be the tough part. pdoyon03301@yahoo.com

this is such a beautiful idea! Thanks so much for what you do!!! I would love to get one for my young adult goddaughter :)
acb2427@gmail.com
I have wanted to own a mantilla for quite some time; but have not been able to reconcile myself to buying one because they are a bit more expensive. This would be a treat to win one. We have purchased 3 shorter veils from you and have found them aesthetically pleasing and well-crafted. Deo gratias!

Have my second daughter's 1st communion coming up. I would love to give her a Lily veil too. ricklorim@sbcglobal.net

Lily,
This is a wonderful idea. I love your work. I thank you so much what you are doing to keep this beautiful tradition alive. I told all of my friends that wear veils about you, and many of them have ordered one.
I'll be sure to spread the word.

I love your veils! I unfortunately do not currently wear one because I am a member of two different church parishes. At one, many of the young women wear them-- we are on a college campus, but my church back home is full of many older women and no one wears them. I thought that I would stand out at my "home" parish and so have not attained one. I have decided that I do not care what everyone else thinks... this is between me and God. Thank you for you consideration!--Nikki
Also, I posted your link on my facebook. And you can contact me at niknak117@gmail.com -- Nikki
I'm 19 years old, and I'm discerning the religious life. At first I was really angry and unhappy, but now I'm thrilled to be blessed in this way! It's only been a couple of months, but I'm getting there. Sometimes I get really scared, but I know He'll help me through it; He always does.
I've always wanted a veil, but I'm in college, and I haven't been able to put aside much money for anything besides school stuff.

I recently purchased a beautiful mantilla and a chapel veil from Veils by Lily. They were so nicely wrapped, and they smelled like the scented oil used at confirmation. It was delightful! Sadly, I am the only one in my parish who wears a veil...It was so refreshing and encouraging to read the comments of others who also have chosen to cover their heads before our Lord. It is really not a choice; it is a scriptural command. We are supposed to cover our heads. It shows our respect for the role of Christ over the Church, husbands over their wives, etc. It is a loving arrangement with Christ at the head. It is an honor to our feminine nature to do as our Lord wishes. Even the angels rejoice when we do this. Thank you, everyone, for your encouragement and faith. And thank you, Lily, and staff, for your beautifully made veils. --jopo56@hotmail.com
I love your veils! I have gotten many compliments on the veil I bought from your company. I would love to be able to gift one to my sister, who has recently come back to our wonderful Catholic faith along with her new husband.
I don't have a Facebook, but I will definitely be forwarding this email to all of my friends and family.

I am so happy to have you on our social group for women who cover - Veiled in Grace, on Catholic Answers. Your veils are so very beautiful, and I would love to win one!! I've posted your give away on my facebook page as well for all my Catholic (and non-Catholic) friends to see. God bless you in your ministry to those who cover.
You have beautiful veils!! Such an amazing thing to see so many women wearing them!!

A (male) friend posted a link to my facebook. How wonderful! I have posted it to my twitter as well (http://www.twitter.com/kabergeron).
What a great opportunity to share with others something that has been so important to my faith life and journey as a Catholic.
My husband has given me two veils from your company and I enjoy wearing them and get a lot of compliments. I starting wearing a veil after my mother died. She always wore one to church.
Forgot to leave my contact info, don't count this as a second entry: the.dostalsgmail.com
This is a wonderful idea! Hope I win! =]
Ive been looking for a mantilla style veil/ any veil for years as I am now living in Ohio and dont really know the area and am also limited in mobility due to illness. Finding out about your site is such a blessing!Just having the opportunity to win such a beautiful for Mass. God bless you and your wonderful work.
I bought my last mantilla in Lourdes. It is nice know I now have somewhere to purchase my mantillas.
God Bless,

Wow... so many entries. Fantastic. I would love to enter for a chance to win a veil. Use this comment as inclusion into the contest.
Also, I will post on this my blog. Double entry! and more submissions for you :-)
I would love to win one of these. They are beautiful!
oops.. the email is the_crescat@yahoo.com
Absolutely lovely. I would love to see wearing a veil to Mass become more of a common event. I have several veils that belonged to my great grandmother and were brought over from Italy, however they are frail and I am afraid to wear them. I am so glad I found this site!
I just shared this on my Facebook too. Thanks!
What a great idea! My daughters and I all wear them. The baby is ready now and I need to pass down the girlish ones and purchase a more adult looking one for my older daughter. I shared this on my page:

Out of fear and cowardice, I have been trying to rationalize NOT veiling for years now, and my husband has been very patient with me... I was actually just "googling" about where to get one, and I found your site. It sure would make my decision easier if I won one! (hint... hint!)
Oh... and I am also emailing/facebooking friends of mine that already veil or, like me, are only stubbornly still arguing with themselves about it - hopefully this will put all of us over the top.
Thanks to all of you for your joyful witness of true feminine beauty.

I'd like to comment and plan to share the post on Facebook, but honestly I don't mind not winning. :) There are many others out there who need veils - I'm fortunate enough to have inherited some truly beautiful veils from my mother in law, who passed some years ago. I hope whoever wins this veil will treasure it, not for its beauty or value but for the privilege of being a woman who doesn't mind showing her love of God at Mass!
your veils look beautiful! It seems my sons are bringing new young ladies into the Traditional Mass, in the past few years, and we are always in need of new veils. Please enter my name in the drawing. Thanks!
God bless you in your apostolate!
Beth
These are just beautiful! Its hard to find ones like these in our church bookstore. God Bless you!
Pretty!
Lovely! Thanks for the generous giveaway!
I would love to win a Mantilla as I am veiling more often for Mass and other things when at church like adoration. They are beautiful.
Wow, how beautiful! Thanks for the giveaway!
Posted on FB as well :)
I've been thinking about buying one for some time now. These are beautiful.
My email is bousquet92@gmail.com.
Absolutely breathtaking! I would love to win this and pass it on to my newly married daughter. :-)
Nice! I never heard of you till a facebook friend posted about the contest! I have been wearing a veil since 2001, when my best friend made me one and I started to pray the Tridentine Mass! :0) I really like the limited edition Beige and Lilac! I will also post on my FB and my email is lowlyservant490@hotmail.com :0)
I love giveaways!
I also posted on Facebook
Beautiful. I would gift the veil if I won to my Mother who is very in love with our Religion. She is a very dedicated,devoted beautiful woman who deserves to veil in honor of our Lord Jesus Christ. Bless you for this opportunity. I also posted your link on my FB wall. My email is ladeaux30@yahoo.com
Thank you for making and offering such beautiful veils! May the Lord bless your work.

I do love me some veils... I always point them out to people around me at Mass, whether or not I know them. "Look! Isn't that lovely? Isn't that devotion just wonderful?" I usually get odd looks, but that's alright. I enjoy them immensely. mrsomalley@gmail.com
What beautiful veils! rutherfordfamily at msn.com
A beautiful new veil would be a wonderful way to celebrate the upcoming birth of my beautiful new son!

I would love to win a veil! Today was my first time wearing one to daily mass. I have felt the call to wear one for a while now and had been praying about it. God really tugged on my heart at a retreat this past weekend and I finally knew I was supposed to. At 20 years old, this calling has humbled me and made me more aware of the importance of living out my Catholic faith! I have also posted on Facebook for my friends to see.
To God be all the glory!

I would LOVE to have this veil. Been on the fence for a LONG time about wearing one to my parish's NO mass, but I'm getting there.
Ohhhh so excited!!!! I love your veils!!!! Posting on fb...

I just saw Jessica's post on FB and figured I'd come to your site and see what this veil drawing was all about! Sooo glad Jess posted! We attend the Tridentine mass and it is always difficult to find well constructed, longer, stay-in-place veils for grown ups! Since we're raising our three grand daughters who also wear veils, I've given up a few of mine for their sake. Yours look lovely and I'm definitely hopeful I'll win. But if I do not, you'll probably be mailing at least one out to me anyway at some point.
May God bless you and Our Lady cover you with graces for the work you are doing to promote reverence to Him!
In Christ,
Carrie

i would LOVE to win a veil from you! they are absolutely gorgeous.

Please enter me, you have some lovely veils!
Love your male commenter's comment.
I have been veiling for almost 2 years now and my veils are starting to get a bit warn around the edges do to my love of my veils. (And the fact that they are more than 70 years old.) Most of my veils are from my grandmother (Died at age 85) and my great-grandmother (Died at age 90). I need some new veils so that I can put the ones I have away for safe keeping. I would LOVE to get some more traditional veils.
Good luck to all those who are entering. I'd love to win it but I'd also love it if someone who is on the fence gets it an it helps them to discover just how wonderful veiling is.

My mother needs one or she can't go to church. My [future} wife will need one since she will have to attend the Latin Mass in order to marry me. Ultimately, I want my sister to convert from paganism to Catholicism, so she will need one (long story). My [future] daugthers will need some or they won't be able to attend church as well.

Your veils are awesome! I can't wait to browse through more of them.
I plan to post a link to this entry on my own blog, Isidore's Digital Doorway. All of my contact info can be found there (on the off chance that I win :))
I veil for the TLM, but usually don't if I'm attending the Novus Ordo. I might start, I'm not sure yet though...
Count me in! I will be sending out an email to friends right after I post this.
I've been on the fence about veiling for quite awhile, so perhaps if I win I'll take that as my divine push in the right direction :) haha.
In any case, you can contact me via my blog, Catholic Unveiled(I suppose it's a rather ironic title in this instance...but it really has nothing to do with chapel veils.) You can either leave me a comment on the blog to contact me, or go to the "About the Author" section for my email.
Pax et bonum!
What beautiful work your veils are! I would so love to begin my veil-wearing with one of these.
I always wear a hat to Mass, but think a veil would be even lovelier.
Please enter me too, these are lovely!
I would like to enter!
I bought a veil from you a few months back and I always get complements on it! Thank you so much!
Very pretty! Posting to my facebook page!
Beautiful! Maybe I'll finally get over my apprehensions about veiling if I win! :)
What a generous giveaway!
I always wonder where the ladies I see at mass in absolutely gorgeous veils get them. I see that some of them must be your customers!
Beautiful veils. Count me in! (Click on the simian at the typewriter for my email.)
these are absolutely beautiful! I would be so proud to win and wear your gorgeous handiwork!

What a great giveaway! This is extremely generous and a great idea to get at least one more young lady to wear a veil to mass. My sister and I have been called to wear a veil to mass and talk about great timing! I wore a veil for the first time this past Sunday and came across this site today via Crescat! My veil was certainly nowhere near as beautiful as the veils here! I may have to save up and get one of them! I have already posted about this giveaway on my own blog.

In case you're wondering, I am 25 years old and living proof that there's young ladies out there that are embracing this beautiful tradition.
For some of my previous posts on mantillas as well as my reasons for wearing one, please check out the following posts:

Your veils are gorgeous and it's time that I stop thinking about veiling and just do it. Having small children hasn't stopped other mommies throughout the world and Church history! :)
I'll be emailing this to my mom (who already veils), too!
Wow, what a great idea! I've had my eye on your veils for quite a while, as I think one would be perfect for when my husband and I renew our vows next year. And if I had one to wear to Mass in the meantime, all the better!
I've posted this on my facebook as well!

Love your veils. Made my on veil here as none of these beautiful veils are available for sale in Malaysia. will be sharing these with friends and relatives
have purchased numerous veils and they are beautiful.
I would love to win!
I have been wearing a mantilla for almost 4 years now, and I absolutely love it! I am so passionate about it and believe that any woman open to the idea should give it a try. Let me tell you, nothing gets you in the mindset of being in the presence of Christ quite like putting on your mantilla! Here's to all the mantilla wearers out there, young and old alike!
I would love to give veiling a try. Thanks for this opportunity!
I would love one of these, they are so beautiful! You do magnificent work.

I love the sheer champagne veil I ordered a couple of months ago. It has become my favorite! May God continue to bless your work!
Thinking about veiling for awhile. Haven't been brave enough yet, but I think its time to try it!
I hope i win! It is so beautiful!
My wife would love one of your veils.
I shared this link on Facebook as well.
I would love to win a veil! I have never worn a veil for Mass. When I was very young, all the little girls and adult women wore hats; only teenagers wore veils. They were so pretty. I couldn't wait to be old enough for my mother to let me wear one. Then, alas, before that time, the veils vanished. Nice to see them making a comeback.
I just started veiling and ordered my veil from you. It's beautiful, and I am so thankful for your work!
Your veils are very beautiful!
I'd love one.
My email is jana_alanda@yahoo.com
I told my family about it through email.

I posted about this on my blog. Hope to win! My e-mail address is maria.debruyn@gmail.com
Awesome contest! I started wearing my grandma's veil when she passed away a few years ago, and since then both my mother and future sister-in-law have joined me in starting the revolution! (We're still the only ones under age 65 wearing them at mass... but we press on!) Unfortunately I lost my grandma's veil during my year abroad, but found one that looks just like it here at Veils by Lily! I was so happy come close to replacing this irreplaceable keepsake. Thank you so much for the beautiful work you do. Maybe I can win a veil here that I will be able to give to my next veil convert... or put away for my future daughter! I posted this on Facebook too... hopefully more people can become aware of the campaign to bring veils back! God bless you for all you do. I hope I win! And if not... God bless the winner!

You make beautiful veils, and I would love an excuse to wear one. Danandjillrieder@gmail.com
Oh, what beautiful veils! I've cut all of my veils from scraps of lace that I can get for cheap from fabric stores and they turn out alright, but nothing like these. I would like a chance to win one. My e-mail is lirioroja2 (at) hotmail (dot) com.
Beautiful, I'd love to win this! Love respect for tradition!
Beautiful! I've been thinking of wearing headcoverings to Mass, but haven't made the plunge yet.
Stunning! I'd love to have one for when I visit Europe!

I would so love one of your veils. I'm a convert and have longed to veil as a sign of my love for the Church.

Count me in, and I'll email my friend and family.
I already stand out w/ my 5 young daughters and 2-yr old son, so I'm conscious of the veils my daughters and I wear. I have not been a big fan of mantillas (I use scarves) but these are so beautiful, I would wear one of these.
thank you for your wonderful ministry to women, and to men!!
