Did you catch the Dominican Sisters of Mary on Oprah? I was hesitant to watch it since I wasn’t sure what kind of spin it would have. However, I am happy to say that it was a great piece. The Sisters answered their questions and explained their way of life with such joy and honesty that you could not help being impressed with them, whatever your religious background. I hope this opens up the doors for many women questioning the meaning and purpose of their life.
And here is a video with general information about the Sisters.

New Site: Vocation Boom.com
Thanks to a heads-up from NCR, I came across a great new site called Vocation Boom. Their overview reads:
Founded by Jerry Usher, Vocation Boom is a team of passionate advocates dedicated to supporting the priesthood as a life’s vocation and mission. We seek to develop a global support community where youth and young men interested in the priesthood can find comprehensive resources, encouragement, mentors and friends to aid in the discernment process.
Be sure to check it out and pass along the info to others.
