- It’s springtime, and all along the drive to Rosemont, the trees and flowers are in bloom.
- OMG the SHCJ campus is totally cool, with historic stone buildings. Sister Anita takes us for a tour, and along the way we meet Colleen, the communications director.
- On the podcast, we learn that Sister Anita is an experienced open-water swimmer, and we hear the latest about Wordnet, a California-based media ministry where Sister Pat is executive director.
- The sisters host a reception after the podcast. We love the opportunity to talk with more of the sisters and hear about the good work that SHCJ sisters in the U.S., Europe, and Africa are doing.
