The word biretta sounds more like a weapon that you wield rather than a hat that you wear. Good thing you have a photo!
I would imagine your pal "Connie" will love this post when she sees it!
You got a pretty old looking seminarian there. Delayed vocation>/?
Is Connie a seminarian?
Really nice hats.

I think based on the color of his pom-pom on top of the biretta, and his cassock with the cape, that he is a Monsignor.
