As women religious, we have welcomed many new thresholds throughout our history. The Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) has created an exhibit on the rich history and contributions of Catholic Sisters in the United States. Through photographs, artifacts, and documentations, this exhibit, titled Women & Spirit: Catholic Sisters in America, explores how Sisters played a vital role in shaping American life.
The traveling exhibit is booked for locations across the country (listed at right). Information on additional sites will be posted when they are available at www.womenandspirit.org.
