These Sisters are a delight. The podcast offers a wide variety of perspectives on contemporary Catholic religious life, with plenty of humor and youthful energy. I’m always happy to see a new episode pop up in my podcast feed.
Challenging and interesting
I really enjoyed these podcasts! So much that one day I binged five in a row! You have had interesting guests who tell great stories, and really challenge the listener to get out there and do something! I’ll be re listening to several and am looking forward to your next installment.
