Nunday Needs Numerous Nun Photos
Happy Monday and happy Nunday! Nunday is alive and well but we still need your photos of Catholic sisters and nuns. Maybe it’s a nun that is a friend or relative of yours. Maybe it’s your teacher or catechist or coworker. Send in your photo to be featured on NUNDAY. By participating in Nunday, you’re helping in our ministry by promoting authentic images of women religious, that is, Catholic sisters and nuns, and helping people to get to know us personally!

Today’s Nunday is a photo from Trish Clark, author of the book Good Night and God Bless which was recently reviewed here at A Nun’s Life. Trish writes:
“I took this photo when I was staying a convent guesthouse in Venice researching my book on convent and monastery accommodation for tourists, called Good Night and God Bless: A Guide to Convent and Monastery Guesthouses in Europe.
The sister was sitting at the reception desk knitting and came outside to give me directions. She was very happy to have her photo taken and was thrilled with the instant (digital) result.”
I just learned that Trish shares all of the royalties from the sale of this book with the Mary MacKillop Foundation, an organization founded by the Sisters of St Joseph of Australia to help “helps those without choices, without hope, without a voice”. Way to go, Trish! You can find out more at the book’s website goodnightandgodbless.com.
So get a great book

I could have given you a slew of them this weekend if I hadn’t forgotten my camera! I attended the ACWR triennial convention in Milwaukee, WI. This is an organization of archivists and historians of women’s orders. There were 160 sisters representing so many different orders. I came home with a head stuffed with knowledge of how to preserve photographs/negatives (including glass negatives, albumen prints, tintypes, etc.), mechanically produced records (like wax cylinders, reel to reel tapes, films, CDs, etc.) Did you know, Sister Julie, that records of your blog and your podcasts should be in your arcives? What an incredible amount of work, but what an incredible sacred legacy we archivists/historians have to preserve!
