Podcasts about national catholic sisters week

Four women religious tell their stories about what brought them to the convent — and why sisterhood is still a vocation worth considering (0:14) We meet Sr. Nancyann Turner, OP, a member of the Adrian Dominican Sisters for more than 60 years. She hints that over that time, her life has never been what she'd describe as “boring.” (2:21) The listener learns about National Catholic Sisters Week. Begun in 2015 and celebrated March 8-14, the week honors women religious for their faith, dedication and service to the Church and humanity. (3:05) We learn about Sr. Nancyann's vocation, which began when Catholic nuns and sisters were much more common than they are today. Sr. Nancyann describes the evolution of religious life since her first profession at age 18 — including her own transformation. (5:59) After recounting her many stops and ministries, Sr. Nancyann describes her passion project, the Rosa Parks Children and Youth Program, which she founded 20 years ago. The program helps inner-city youths resist violence and become the best version of themselves through art, dance, music and education. (8:20) Listeners are introduced to Sr. Felicity Marie Madigan, CSSF, a younger sister in her mid-40s. Sr. Felicity's vocation started as a child, when she and her twin were surrounded by religious sisters growing up. Sr. Felicity describes a pivotal moment in her life — her father's diagnosis with cancer — and how that impacted her decision to enter the convent. (12:30) Sr. Felicity describes her ministry as a combination of prayer and work — just like St. Francis of Assisi, whose charism the Felicians emulate. She describes her work with the Deo Gratias Café, an outreach program at St. Jude Parish in Detroit, as a manifestation of her thankfulness to God for her vocation. (15:46) Sr. Carla Reyna, a 35-year-old member of a new religious community, the Women of Jesus' Merciful Passion, enters the story. Sr. Carla describes the fledgling community's commitment to a ministry of prayer and hospitality through the Shrine of Jesus the Divine Mercy in Clinton Township. (19:35) Sr. Carla describes how, as a young person entering religious life in the 21st century, her decision wasn't accepted by everyone. As a college student, she had questions about life and faith, but a reckoning with “truth” changed her perspective. (22:03) Sr. Carla's decision caused her to lose friends, but she doesn't regret it. She prays for them, and recounts the many blessings of religious life — including reactions from those she meets for the first time. (24:11) We meet a fourth woman religious, Sr. Dominic Maria St. Michael, OP, a member of the Cloistered Dominican Sisters at the Monastery of the Blessed Sacrament in Farmington Hills. Sr. Dominic and about two dozen other sisters spend their lives in prayer and community, interceding for the world. (26:03) The narrator describes the cloistered nuns' typical day, which, despite the stereotype of cloistered life, is anything but “peace and quiet.” (27:44) Sr. Dominic discusses the importance of the prayer apostolate, expressing her hope that others will learn more about the nuns' way of life and imitate their prayer — just as they are imitating Jesus' prayer. (30:43) The reporter asks Sr. Dominic for her response to the notion that “contemplative life must be so boring.” Sr. Dominic laughs. They don't know what they're talking about, she says.

It’s taken over a year for us to get our boss, Matt Malone, S.J., on Jesuitical—and we promise it was worth the wait. Matt is president and editor in chief of America, and the reason why Jesuitical exists in the first place. This week we talk to him about Pope Francis’ election five years ago, for which he was present, the spiritual side of St. Patrick’s day and his journey to working at America. In Signs of the Times we chat about  our favorite topic of all time: Catholic sisters, since it’s National Catholic Sisters Week, and we also discuss how Catholics should be responding to the Parkland students’ call for gun reform. Thank you to all of our new patrons this week! To see the full unedited interview, visit patreon.com/americamedia to donate. Shout out to our VIPs: Kody Teaford and Vivian Veloso Macaspac; and our Super Fans, Jim Eraci and Ben Bartosik. As always, we want to hear from you.

In this episode we interviewed Ellyse VanderKamp from Aquinas College in Michigan. She worked with Sister Joan Thomas, OP, a Dominican Sister. My favorite quote from this interview is when Ellyse talks about the assumptions she had when she came into this project.

Ellyse and her sister get right at the heart of what this project is all about.

Here's My Secret is a podcast produced by Alicia Beyer about the oral history project SisterStory. Through interviews with student oral historians she learns more about their experiences and the valuable relationships forged between them and their Sister during the semester process. By reading the SisterStory blogs (www.sisterstory.org/student-blog) and personally getting to know each student prior to interviewing, we gain insight through Alicia into how this experience has changed individual lives and evolved perspectives on women religious. SisterStory is the ongoing story of National Catholic Sisters Week aimed at broadening awareness of Catholic sisters through the collection of oral histories, social media outreach, and the creation of additional media content.
