Outstanding Leadership: Sister Margaret Brennan, IHM
From the Leadership Council of Women Religious (LCWR) about one of my nuns …
We are very pleased to announce that Margaret Brennan, IHM, has been chosen to receive the 2010 LCWR Outstanding Leadership Award. The honor will be presented to Margaret at the LCWR assembly in August in Dallas.
Margaret, a Sister, Servant of the Immaculate Heart of Mary of Monroe, Michigan, is a theologian, a former president of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious, and a professor emerita of theology at Regis College (University of Toronto), where she taught for 25 years.
She has made numerous contributions to the renewal of religious life and has been a courageous voice in the church. Novalis Publishing released her memoir last year, What Was There for Me Once
.
At the assembly … we will commemorate Margaret’s life and celebrate her significant influence as an inspirational leader in the church and in religious life.

Fantastic news! Congratulations to Sister Margaret, who is a true inspiration. God bless her for her tireless work….hope the Dallas event goes without a hitch! xx
Congratulations to Sr. Margaret! I recently read her book, and I learned so much. It was not just about the IHMs, but the more personal experiences, relationships with different church leaders and other religious, history, faith, etc. What a truly remarkable woman!
I am very proud of Margaret. She has done so much for religious life, the church, theology, many people, myself included.
Sr. Margaret’s book was such a wonderful eye opener for me; it showed me the backbone of all the wonderful IHMs at Monroe, the other wonderful sisters all over the world. I am so very happy she has been chosen for this honor. She does have all the virtues of a strong woman, and ah! such doors and windows of understanding she has opened for me.
…and in reading one of the blogs you list, I discover today that you entered the order while I was still a student at the Academy. I feel distinguished myself now, because I probably walked the same hallways as one of my most favorite inspirational bloggers. You go! Sr Julie! I thank you for your wisdom and your suggestions.
Hi everyone…just looking for help. Do any of you know where I can pick up a second hand copy of Sister Margaret’s book? The only copy I can see on web is £32 and, sadly, at this time I can’t afford that! Moving house is so expensive…grrr! I tried the second hand seller I usually use but to no avail…any pointers would be gratefully received. God bless x
