They were/are known as White Monks, because of their white cowls (usually only worn as choir dress). Their regular habit consists of a white tunic, over which a black hooded scapular is worn. The whole is girded together by a leather belt. (Some Cistercians of the Common Observance [OCist] wear, instead of the leather belt, a black cincture, BUT Cistercians of the Strict Observance [OCSO] never do, they only wear leather belts).

Is there an order of priests that wear white robes with the hood up as they enter the sanctuary - altar area?

Roman Catholic AnswerThe group that comes to mind would be the Carthusians, the strictest order in the Catholic Church. The Carthusians are an order of Hermits. Their "monasteries" consist of collections of hermitages, and they come together for several Offices a day. They wear white robes and often have their hoods up. I have included a link to their website (below). Their Order has changed little since the twelve century.

Oh, dude, comparing Carthusians and Cistercians is like comparing apples and oranges. Carthusians are all about that hermit life, living in solitude and silence, while Cistercians are more into communal living and manual labor. It's like introverts versus extroverts, but with monks.
