Sisters show up in the most interesting places!

Did you know that a sister was recognized by President Obama at the announcement of his clean power plan? LCWR executive director Sister Joan Marie Steadman, CSC was present for the occasion because of the help she provided in getting sisters across the country to push for solutions to climate change. You can read more about the event and Sister Joan Marie's involvement here on the LCWR page. Neat!

What do sisters DO?

I just loved this article from the folks over at Global Sisters Report about the great variety of ministries in which one can find Catholic sisters and nuns these days! Many people are surprised that they aren't all catechists, nurses, or silent contemplatives. Here's a small sample of the 18 surprising ministries mentioned in this article:

• NGO reps at the United Nations
• Herbalists who make medicines
• and even an archeologist!

You can find the full list here - as well as lots of other great articles from Global Sisters Report.
