About A Nun’s Life

Welcome to A Nun’s Life Ministry website.

A Nun’s Life Ministry is founded on the belief that each person is called by God to a vocation that enriches the individual and benefits the world. Our ministry is dedicated to helping people discover and grow in their vocation, that is, their life’s calling, by engaging their questions about God, faith, and religious life.

A Nun’s Life Ministry is founded by Sister Julie Vieira, IHM, and Sister Maxine Kollasch, IHM.

Sister Julie is a professional writer and has a master’s degree in theology. She has worked for a number of Catholic organizations including Loyola Press in Chicago before engaging A Nun’s Life Ministry on a full-time basis.

Sister Maxine is a professional writer who is currently finishing her master’s degree in theology. Sister Maxine also has a master’s degree in advertising. She brings over fifteen years of experience in corporate communications to A Nun’s Life Ministry.

Both are members of Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (IHM), a Roman Catholic religious community based in Monroe, Michigan. Our community is dedicated to the liberating mission of Jesus which we seek to express in a variety of ways according to our charism and the needs of the world around us.

We invite you to explore A Nun’s Life website and to join in the conversations on the blog and via our podcasts. If you are discerning a call to religious life, do check out our Vocation Forum and How to Become a Catholic Nun which has valuable information for anyone in discerning a calling.

If you would like to contact us directly, please email us at sister (at) anunslife (dot) org. Please know that we can’t respond to every emails because we get so many each week. We will however keep each one of you in our prayers.
