when we made our First Confession and First Communion. I also wore a veil when I joined in processions through the streets with various Church Guilds I belonged to.
Brides who marry in Church usually wear a veil too.
Wearing a head covering to Church was what us gals did where I came from in England. It sort of went by the way sometime around the late 60s I guess, although in many places around the UK women STILL wear a hat or a scarf to Church and definitely in the more Catholic countries around the world most women wouldn't go into a Church without covering her head.
Mind you, men probably wore a hat when they went to Church in those days. Wearing your 'Sunday best' (clothes) was the norm many years ago.
