Sister Damian “Astro Nun” video
By Sister Julie | January 7, 2008
Love this video! It is a very good story about Sister Damian of the Congregation of the Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament, Houston, Texas.
Kudos to the Bill Phillips of Texas Country Reporter for presenting Sister Damian on her own terms, who she is, and how she sees the world. This is one of those rare interviews where a sister is not made into a caricature for our amusement. You really get a sense that Mr. Phillips is delighted to know Sister Damian. I’m delighted to know her too. What a great human being!
Show #993 originally aired the weekend of September 9th, 2006.
Topics: news on the nunfront, nuns who rock |

Sister Damian is delightful. I don’t know if you all have ever seen Sr. Helen Prejean speak, but she too has that kind of folksy, good-humored personality with a distinct Southern drawl. Sr. Damian reminds me of her in that sense.

Funny you should mention Sister Helen. A colleague said she was on NPR this weekend. I’ll see if I can find it. I’ve heard her speak and actually met her very briefly once. Definitely one of my heroes.

Praised be the Incarnate Word!
