InFormation 2022 No. 1 : Book Review, Millennial Nuns : Reflections on Living a Spiritual Life in a World of Social Media, by Juliet Mousseau, RSCJ

InFormation Bulletins - InFormation 2022 No.1 Spring

"The eight individuals who contribute to the collection present their stories humbly and honestly. Readers will find their own story reflected in the joys and struggles the authors describe from their own lives. One sister speaks of her family’s dysfunction, another of divorce, one of moving around as a child, another of school bullies. One speaks of a time where she experienced depression, while another talks of loving a boyfriend and choosing atheism with him. Each one presents steps on the path that led her to her calling as a sister."

InFormation 2022 No. 1 : Catholic Sisters Week : Called to Bear Witness, by Romina Sapinoso, SC

InFormation Bulletins - InFormation 2022 No.1 Spring

"Our Catholic faith and vocation is the DNA imprinted in every cell of our being calling us forth to be life and nourishment for our world. The reading on the works of mercy reminds us of the fruit that we are called to bear as Catholics and as women religious in this world - feed the hungry, clothe the naked, visit the imprisoned, counsel, comfort, pray. These are all part of who we are. The needs of the world are great in every generation and our DNA calls us to place ourselves in those areas of needs."

InFormation 2020 No. 2 : Catholic Sisters Week Reflection : So If I Am Not a Worker Bee Anymore What Am I?, by Barbara Reid, OP

InFormation Bulletins - InFormation 2020 No.2 Summer

"A shift from thinking of myself and my sisters as worker bees for God, constantly making ourselves available to God’s people do God’s work, shifting to making myself constantly available to God for the sake of God’s people. It may sound like a subtle difference, but actually, it’s quite a change in what’s at the center. The starting point and the anchor for everything is not me and my desire to serve God, but God’s steadfast love and everything flows from that."

InFormation 1996 No. 1 : Taking Flight, by Katherine Feely, SND

InFormation Bulletins - InFormation 1996 No.1 Jan-Feb

"I contrast this image with that of the opening ceremony of the NGO Forum when tens of thousands of doves were released into the air. I could hear the rush of the fluttering wings and see these beautiful creatures soar off into the sky! As I watched the birds, I recognized myself in the soaring. My spirit, dreams, desires, prayers, and passion took flight with the birds."
