...Charles had many visits from her nieces and nephews.

Journals and Letters week 8: Indiana arrival
...journey to pioneer Indiana. When I gave tours of the Saint Mother Theodore Guerin Shrine at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Indiana, (pre-Covid), I often pointed to the framed photo of the Cathedral in Séez and said, “I tend to forget that Mother Theodore came from a rather sophisticated France with great Cathedrals, actual roads, and thriving businesses, etc.” In another writing, she remarked about the Cathedral of Séez being one of the last things she saw prior to leaving France. To me,...

Ask Sister Dina: how long does it take to become a sister?
...tour during a Come and See Weekend retreat. Those who discern a call to become a Catholic religious sister must first be a practicing Roman Catholic. (We’ve had at least one sister hear the call before she became Catholic, so her first step was the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA), a program which introduces a person to the Catholic faith).

...countries. Of course, this was not my original route: These trips were made over a period of many years … sometimes as part of my ministry, sometimes as a guest with friends, but many times as a tour host working with a travel company.
