Catholic sisters and friends on the Motherhouse Road Trip
GHR has a long legacy of partnering with Catholic sisters, supporting the amazing contributions they make to the common good. The Foundation's Sister Support initiative is especially proud to fund initiatives that utilize the enthusiasm and creativity of younger sisters as they respond to new opportunities created by technology and a changing landscape.
One of these initiatives is A Nun’s Life, an international online ministry helping people discover religious life and choose the vocation toward which they feel God calling them. The organization recently celebrated its tenth anniversary with a Motherhouse Road Trip, where the A Nun’s Life team, including Sisters Julie, Maxine, and Julie, traveled from Toledo to Chicago—where A Nun’s Life began—to Silicon Valley. Along the way, they visited motherhouses, livestreamed podcasts, tutored congregations in social media and networked with young sisters. The team posted on social media and blogged throughout their trip, engaging with their 160-country online community.

Young members of the Sisters of Mercy
As the A Nun’s Life team was preparing for the Motherhouse Road Trip, 140 young Sisters of Mercy visited St. Louis, Mo. for a four-day gathering. The group came together from the United States, Philippines, Peru, Argentina, Guam and Jamaica to deepen relationships, pray and sing together in Spanish and English. Most importantly, the sisters imagined what the Sisters of Mercy’s presence will be in the future and recommitted themselves to their mission.
