Women & Spirit: Catholic Sisters in America DVD now available

The Women & Spirit exhibit closed in June. For anyone who missed it, or for those who would like to experience it again, the Leadership Conference of Women Religious has produced a documentary based on the exhibition. According to the exhibit website, the DVD “narrates the virtually untold story of the rich history and contributions of Catholic sisters in the United States . . . it shows how sisters played a vital role in shaping American life from before the earliest days of the republic and throughout its history.”

The 56-minute documentary is narrated by National Public Radio senior news analyst and ABC news political commentator Cokie Roberts.
