I’ve always loved and admired these nuns, even more so because my daughter is autistic. Perhaps one day she might be able to live in or near such a community.
Speaking of the Church at her best… go to the website of the Diocese of Springfield in Illinois (dio.org) and check out the latest Dive Deep podcast. Seems the Norbertine Fathers from California, and St Gianna Molla’s daughter, have some big projects going on right here in Springfield — a new catechetical institute and an international pro life and family center.
Thanks!
Praise God!

Amen. Standing proud of these beautiful ladies. They have the purest of hearts and intentions amongst us. So grateful for their community and prayers in Our Church.
We are blessed with these beautiful ladies. Bright candles in a dark stormy night.
