Motherhouse Roadtrip
Travel Journal
  • At airport security, Sister Maxine goes through with a case full of mixers and assorted cables—no problem. But Jane gets pulled over because she has two computers. You never know...
  • We learn from Sister Joyce that the CDPs will celebrate their 150th anniversary next year. What an incredible commitment to God’s mission!
  • During the podcast, the chatroom has lots of questions. They love the convo with Sister Joyce and Sister Misty about what it means to cooperate with the God of providence.
  • We’re in the dining room when to our surprise we see one of our IHM sisters, Kate Pierce, who was there to facilitate a workshop. Sister Kate founded Intercultural Consultation Services the same year that we founded A Nun’s Life Ministry, and she was a great source of encouragement and support for us!
