Sister Catherine Pinkerton, CSJ, a Sister of Saint Joseph of Cleveland, Ohio, gave the closing prayer on one of the nights of the Democratic National Convention. Sister Catherine has ministered for the past 24 years, with Network, a national Catholic social-justice lobby in Washington, DC. See the Cleveland Plain Dealer for more info. Very proud of the Sisterhood!

I wonder if the Republicans will have a Catholic nun speak at their convention. The only nun news I’ve read in regard to the Republican National Convention is the arrest of a 78-year-old nun protesting the war at the RNC.
