Forever Your Sister: Reflections on Leaving Convent Life
Files
Description
Following Vatican II, convents all over the country suffered loss in their sisterhood. Often secretive, neither those leaving nor those remaining had time to deal with the situation. In 1993, St. Benedict's Monastery, in St. Joseph, Minnesota, invited former sisters to visit. Out of this came these twenty-two stories.
