What orders and convents of sisters still wear the veil?
And do you know any lone sisters who continue to veil despite the fact that are the only ones to do so in their communities?
I'm going to start with the following honorable mentions:
- The Sisters of Life - New York
- The Dominican Sisters of Nashville, TN (Dominican Sisters of St Cecilia)
- The Dominican Sisters of Ann Arbor, MI (Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist
- Sisters of Mercy, Alma MI
Let the nominations begin!
In the meantime, here is a cartoon from Catholic Cartoon Blog.

Carmelites of Boston

Carmelite Sisters of the Divine Heart of Jesus

And many more! I can honestly only think of two groups off the top of my head where the majority of the sisters don't veil. I guess I'm sheltered?
Another nomination I just thought of: The Tyburn Nuns (cloistered) http://www.tyburnconvent.org.uk/index2.html (in the UK, Australia and NZ).
