I finally got a chance to ask father why he did not wear rose on Laetare Sunday. He said the vestments were not rose but were "hot pink" so he wore violet instead. So I guess the priests have been wearing the wrong color vestments all these years.

Ha ha.
I hope the person who bought or made those vestments wasn't there!

Laetare Sunday should be rose, which is today.

Someone actually down-thumbed this?? Why? Probably a Feeneyite looking to increase my negative stats regardless of what I say.

One option is to have a basket of rose colored 
glasses in the vestibule for everyone to wear
if you don't have any rose colored vestments.

The "official" liturgical color actually is violet, even for Laetare Sunday (and Gaudete Sunday in Advent).  Rose vestments, however, are authorized for wear--and, in most people's opinion (I think), are more appropriate given the tradition of Rose vestments the two days in the year.  

When I was in the Novus Ordo, the parish I was in had beautiful Rose vestments, obviously from long before Vatican 2.  The visiting priest (we did not have a resident priest), however, brought his own vestments--and they were HOT PINK!  It was horrid!  Believe me, if those vestments your priest has are hot pink, you don't want to see him in them.
