Convent Honor Roll: Religious Sisters who Veil

I've been thinking that it might be nice to start an honor roll for religious sisters who wear the veil.

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:
