Since St. Paul's first letter to the Corinthians, it has become a tradition for women to wear some sort of head covering when going to church. Early Catholic women wear chapel veils primarily as a symbol of modesty. In those days, its believed that keeping the head covered helps maintain a woman's dignity.
Today, wearing a veil - or any kind of head covering at Mass - is a symbol of reverence as women of the Church that we are the Brides of Christ and wearing a veil is meant to be a visible reminder of the sanctity and dignity of women and our devotion to the loving rule of Christ and surrender to God's will.
Similar to a religious habit, wearing a chapel veil is your public proclamation of your desire to submit to the will of God for your life. It isn't a sign that we have achieved a certain level of holiness, but rather a sign of our desire to grow closer to God.
