Fiat Mihi
Luke 1:38 Dixit autem Maria : Ecce ancilla Domini : fiat mihi secundum verbum tuum. Et discessit ab illa angelus.
Through Mary’s simple “Fiat Mihi”, the Incarnate Word came into the World. I invite you to do the same and say, “Let it be done to me” by wearing one of our beautiful, comfortable, reverent chapel veils.
The Perfect Everyday Veil
When we set out to create our line of chapel veils, we set out to make the perfect everyday veil. It had to be soft, lightweight, comfortable, modest, reverent, and practical. It had to be a chapel veil that you would reach for every single time. We have succeeded.
Our veils are practical, reverent, and as comfortable as your favorite T-shirt.
Our chapel veils are made of lightweight double gauze cotton, cut and stitched to a generous length and width for easy coverage of your whole head as well as your inner shoulders and upper chest.
We have included double folded seams to create a soft ridge around the outside of the fabric keeping it from falling in your face and creating a soft framing effect.
Our veils look fantastic in any environment, whether you go to mass in a beautiful historic church or a brand new building, they never look out of place.
Life is hectic, your veil should be an easy addition to your devotional life. Our veils are perfect to grab and go, comfortable, and easy to clean. The bubbled texture of the double gauze keeps you cool; and you never have to worry about ironing it, pressing it or it getting ruined if you throw it in your purse on the way out the door to mass, adoration, or confession.
Each chapel veil is made by hand in our home. While they are all made to the same exacting standards for size and material, because they are made by hand, each veil is a completely unique and special piece of fabric just like you. We think our chapel veils are perfectly imperfect. That’s why we love them, and you will too. You’ll never want to leave home without yours.
We really cannot understate the comfort of our veils. Not only are they comfortable to wear, but they are reverent, beautiful, and modest as well. Because of the generous length, you also never have to worry about them falling off your head in the middle of mass, or constantly readjusting a hair clip like with a lace veil.
When you’re done at mass or adoration and headed off to a church social function, you can easily drop it around your shoulders and wear it as a scarf.
Finally, a veil as comfortable as your favorite T-shirt!
Each handmade chapel veil measures 52″ long x 16″ wide.

FIAT MIHI
What does that mean? Fiat Mihi is Latin, and it means “let it be done to me.” These two words are the most important words that have ever been spoken by a human. In context, it is from the Gospel of Luke. The Archangel Gabriel, appears to The Virgin Mary and tells her that she is going to give birth to the Messiah. Mary, is at first confused as she has (and will never have) relations with a man. Gabriel explains God’s plan. And instead of arguing, debating, and himm-hawing, Mary does the absolute opposite. She says, “Behold the handmaid of the Lord: let it be done to me according to your word.” (In Latin, Ecce ancilla Domini: fiat mihi secundum verbum tuum.)
This complete and total submission, trust, and obedience to the Lord is the reason and motivation behind the creation of Fiat Mihi veils. Our veils are for women who want to completely and totally dedicate their heart, soul, body and mind directly to our Lord and our God. We don’t wear a veil for just humility or modesty. These two are secondary aspects of a greater virtue, which is obedience. Obedience comes from a true complete and total trust of God with our whole heart, mind, body, and soul. When we are obedient to God, we show Him how much we love and trust Him with even the smallest actions in our lives.
We invite you to share in our Catholic spirituality, and our journey of trusting the Lord, by joining with Mary and saying, “Fiat Mihi.”
