Sister Sandra Schneiders is one of my nuns, an IHM Sister of Monroe, Michigan. She is one of the foremost scholars on religious life today. Among her recent publications are Finding the Treasure and Selling All, the first two volumes of a trilogy on Catholic Religious Life entitled “Religious Life in a New Millennium.”
See you there!

Wow, I did not realize she is one of yours! How cool is that? I’ve read some of the trilogy. I’ve considered going.

I wish I could go! I am reading the trilogy and have been very inspired, but I guess I am kind of far

I’ve read both the volumes in this series that have been published. In reading “Selling All”, I was deeply moved. For the first time, I was able to put words into my own experience/desire to live a celibate lifestyle. I heartily recommend it to others.

Hi,
I ran across your blog through Sr. Helga’s… I’m so glad I did! I’ve enjoyed the posts I’ve read thus far…
Thank you for the information on the Chicago event. Being in Dayton, OH I’m not really sure if I can go, however, I’ve read her books “Finding the Treasure” and “Selling All” and I was deeply moved/motivated by both. I hope to one day hear her in person.
I’ll stop by your blog more often…

Wow! I am thinking to myself if there is a way I can make it to Chicago for that weekend. That’s an opportunity too good to miss! I have to pray about it and see what I might be able to do. Any suggestions for places people can stay in the Oak Park area?

Lisa,
I’m not really familar with Oak Park. Try contacting the Holy Spirit Missionary Sisters who are part sponsors of the event. On the flyer is contact info. Also, I know there’s a big Felician house on the north side of Chicago on Peterson. Blessings! Sister J
