As Catholics, we thrive on our connection to tradition. Everything we do, every ritual we share, can be traced back to our long and storied history as a community devoted to God. This history influences the way we practice our faith, and the garments a priest wears are a highly visible example of this. Each liturgical vestment a priest wears has an individual history, with many garments remaining virtually unchanged for hundreds of years. The cassock, worn by priests when going about their daily business, is a simple yet elegant reminder of a priestÆs connection to tradition. Usually fastened in front with 33 buttons that represent the 33 years Christ lived on Earth, the cassock is a comfortable and versatile garment. This cassock is black and features snap closures. Made from a durable poly/cotton blend, this cassock makes a great addition to any priestÆs wardrobe.
This black cassock is manufactured by Abbey Brand, one of the most trusted names in religious goods. This full cut cassock measures 46 inches at the waist, 48 inches at the chest, and 64 inches at the back, allowing for extra room and comfort. This cassock is available in other sizes and other colors, including red, purple, white, and blue. If you are interested in other sizes or colors or have questions about this or any of our cassocks, please donÆt hesitate to call our friendly church good department at 1-800-652-9767 or email us at info@stpatricksguild.com.
