Nunday Needs Your Help
Monday is Nunday! … at least for today. My folder of emailed nun photos is empty. Alas, there are no more photos of real Catholic sisters and nuns. Nunday can only go forward with your support.
Nunday is an opportunity to present the world with real images of nuns, instead of the cutesie caricatures and erotica that seems to dominate the genre of nun imagery on the Internet. It’s a chance to reclaim nun imagery so that when nuns are portrayed, they are presented authentically as themselves, not as a caricature with some ridiculous caption and being stripped of their name and their story.
So what do you have to do? Check out my post Nun Photos – Got em? Send em! which gives you all the info you need. Know a nun? Ask to take her picture. Are you a nun or sister? You’ve got to have some pictures of your community someplace!
This photo comes from an article published last year in the San Diego Union-Tribune called A Guiding Light by Sandi Dolbee (June 8, 2008).
Pictured is Sister Ursula Doherty, RSM, a Sister of Mercy, who was featured in the newspaper upon her retirement after teaching for 33 years at Saint Vincent school in San Diego.
Be sure to read the whole story as it’s a beautiful tribute to a wonderful nun.
The
end.
