This episode features Sr. Julie Marsh, a Sister of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who tells us about the roads she followed, with God’s guidance, that led her to religious life. Prior to her entry into the sisterhood, Sr. Julie worked as a music therapist across the street from the Sisters of the Presentation. Fate brought her closer to the sisters, which led to her entering their congregation in 1986. She became a university campus minister and formation director for her community. In 2014, she was invited by a fellow sister for a mission in Louisiana. After taking time to discern whether the invitation was right for her, Sr. Julie made the decision to move down south.

This episode features Sr. Leah Couvillion, a School Sister of Notre Dame, who shares her global missionary experiences. Sr. Leah heard her call to religious life as a fourth grader, and became particularly infatuated with the potential of becominga foreign missionary. Her formation experience was unique: at just fourteen years old, she embarked on a journey of independence—leaving Louisiana for St. Mary of the Pines in Mississippi, a school for young women aspiring to be sisters. At school, she grew close with the other aspirants as they grew spiritually and emotionally alongside one another. She fulfilled her childhood dream of becoming a global missionary by ministering in Mexico from 1985 to 1996 and in Pakistan from 1999 to 2001. Her ministry in the United States has revolved around working with Spanish-speaking parishes in Texas and Louisiana. She has specialized in language instruction, since receiving her bachelor’s degree in Spanish and her master’s degree in Spanish Literature. In addition to being a language instructor, Sr. Leah has trained catechists and flourishing religious leaders across the globe. The Flourishing Sisterhood Project is supported by the Conrad N.

This episode features Sr. Susanna of the Little Friars and Little Nuns of Jesus and Mary. She is from Sicily, Italy, and has been a part of her community for ten years. Currently, she is the Servant Superior of the formation house in the Houma-Thibodaux region. In her youth, she frequently attended mass with her grandmother, and was told Bible stories in place of fairy tales at bedtime. As a teenager, Sr. Susanna’s connection with the Church weakened as she attempted to discover what would bring her absolute joy. In college, she majored in philosophy and sought answers to her questions about life, death, and true happiness. She would find the answers through God. Sr. Susanna says that she has always been a “very radical kind of person,” which fits well with the radical evangelical poverty that her community embraces. The community, nonetheless, provides for their underprivileged parishioners. The Flourishing Sisterhood Project is supported by the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation’s Catholic Sisters Initiative.

This episode features Sr. Marie-Therese of Jesus Crucified, a Sister Servant of Jesus Crucified, who tells the remarkable story of her discernment. Her entire family experienced a reversion around the time Sr. Marie-Therese was eight years old. Following the birth of her younger brother, her mother endured a serious depressive episode, but God used this experience to bring the family back to the Church. In her teenage years, she carried out a radical act of love which led to her entering religious life immediately after graduating high school. First and foremost, Sr. Marie-Therese’s life as a sister is grounded in Eucharistic devotion and prayer, which provides sustaining grace through her active ministry life. Among many other missions and acts of service through her community, she accompanies others in offering their pain and struggles to the Lord through redemptive suffering, provides proper burial for the underprivileged through the community’s Bonne Mort Society, and provides love and support for local disadvantaged girls. Trigger Warnings: brief mention of child death. The Flourishing Sisterhood Project is supported by the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation’s Catholic Sisters Initiative.

This episode features Sr. Celeste Larroque, a Sister of the Eucharistic Covenant. For twelve years, she was taught by the Sisters of Mercy in her small Louisiana town, which instilled in her the importance of religious women fulfilling their purpose through their missions. As a young adult, Sr. Celeste entered a convent which opened her up to the concepts of community and prayer life. In the early 80s, Sr. Celeste, with four other sisters, founded her current congregation, with a focus on the importance of a Eucharistic charism, after a period of discernment and discussion with their diocese. For over forty years, Sr. Celeste has ministered in civil and social services, as well as in congregational leadership. Most recently, she has ministered as the Diocese of Lafayette’s Delegate for Religious. Sr. Celeste says that she carries her family, her charism, her spirituality, and her congregation everywhere she goes in life; these essential parts of her identity have helped her to cultivate a positive and compassionate attitude in her ministry.

This episode features Sr. Giuliana Maria of the Most Blessed Sacrament, our youngest podcast guest and a novice with the Sister Servants of Jesus Crucified. As a self-proclaimed “wild child” and a romantic, Sr. Giuliana “reached for the sky” while growing up in the mountainous region of Colombia. As a teenager, she pursued a relationship she thought would lead to marriage and her ultimate happiness. The relationship did not last, but as a result, Sr. Giuliana began to explore her passion for the Church and helping others with a group of friends. She started attending weekly mass, and ministering to the neighborhood children. The friend group’s efforts were soon noticed by the Missionaries of Charity. Her ministry work would create opportunities for her to attend World Youth Day 2019 in Panama and a charismatic renewal retreat in Mexico. Both experiences were a part of Sr. Giuliana’s discernment. Her perspective on the sisterhood is unique as a young woman from Colombia called by God to St. Martinville LA, to the Community of Jesus Christ Crucified, an active-contemplative community rooted in redemptive suffering and meeting the needs of the poor and most vulnerable through their various missions and apostolates.

This episode features Sr. Regina Marie Fronmuller, an Ursuline Sister, tells us about her dedication to service and sharing in religious life. Generosity was a value instilled in Sr. Regina Marie from a young age by her family and the Church as she partook in the care of her relatives, neighbors, and greater community. Although she had initially considered becoming a nurse with her penchant for hospitality, ultimately Sr. Regina Marie pursued religious life. She was drawn to her congregation because of their invitational nature and prayerfulness. Her name in religious life connects her to her great-aunt, Mother Regina, who was also an Ursuline sister. As a religious sister, she has been a teacher and encouraged creativity in students of all ages by developing art programs and departments. After moving from Illinois to Louisiana, Sr. Regina Marie’s ministry has focused on the Saint Bernard Project, an organization dedicated to helping families recover after natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina.

On a walk with her mother and sisters, she expressed her awe in front of the Mt. Carmel motherhouse at just five years old. Her love of Carmelite prayerfulness made her feel right at home. Sr. Beth took time to carefully discern her vocation, and the path her life would take. She made the definitive decision to go to the university of her choice before entering religious life, knowing that she would eventually become a sister. As she told one of her mentors, “if I lose my vocation that easily, then I don't have one.” Sr. Beth, who was taught by Dominicans and Carmelites before receiving her master’s degree from Notre Dame University, and studying at the Jesuit School of Theology in Berkeley, says that her spirituality has been informed by each congregation from which she has had the pleasure of learning. In religious life, Sr. Beth has been a high school home economics and religion teacher, a GED teacher at Hope House in the St. Thomas Housing Development, formation director for the congregation, leader of her congregation from 2005 to 2013, and the Archdiocese of New Orleans’ Vicar for Religious.

This episode features Sr. Anne Flanagan, a Daughter of St. Paul, who talks about the importance of religious sisters in media-based ministry. As a teenager, her discernment with the Daughters of St. Paul was sparked by a fateful encounter with a sister at the Pauline bookstore in Metairie, Louisiana, who told Sr. Anne it was the Pauline mission to “put the media at the service of the Church.” Since entering her congregation, her ministries have taken the form of multimedia approaches to sharing and living the Gospel. Her book Come To Me - Living The Nine First Fridays won First Place in the “Prayer” category at the 2024 Association of Catholic Publishers and the Catholic Media Association Book Awards. Previously, she created the music section for the Vatican’s Jubilee website in the 90s. Author of several books, Sr. Anne was also the decade-long editor of My Friend , a children’s magazine. Not only a wordsmith, but a songstress, she has sung in the Sistine Chapel Choir. On social media, she is known as @nunblogger , where she has cultivated a large following.

This episode features Sr. Long Hoang, a Daughter of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary, who is from Vietnam. During her teenage years, Sr. Long experienced struggles in life and in faith. After this “storm” of wrought emotions, a rainbow led her to a place of peace and safety. She says there was not one single experience which led her to the sisterhood, but multiple stops along the way. When she was just seven years old, Sr. Long had prayed to become God’s spouse and to be of service to him. After growing up across the street from a Daughters of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary convent, and being taught catechism by the sisters, she participated in “Come and See” retreat with the Vietnamese sisters. Once she moved to the U.S., she had a second “Come and See” experience at the New Orleans convent which helped to solidify her discernment. In her fourteen years as a religious sister, Sr. Long has been heavily involved in youth ministry. She has taught students in pre-k and confirmation classes, led metanoia retreats for young people, conducted the only Vietnamese children’s choir who sings in English for Mass , and counseled young women in their discernment.

This episode features Sr. Mary Martha Moss, a Daughter of St. Paul from Houma, Louisiana. Sr. Martha grew up in an interdenominational family, and did not attend Catholic schools in her youth. In high school, she found herself and many of her peers wanting to live the faith as young people, even within a more secular environment. When she was sixteen, a catechism teacher introduced her to the Daughters of St. Paul. The sisters wrote her letters up until her first year at Louisiana State University. Through these letters, visits to the convent, and her time helping at the Pauline bookstore, she discerned her call to join the congregation. In religious life, Sr. Martha has gone door-to-door sharing Pauline publishings during her first mission in New York, authored four books, been the Local Superior for the San Diego convent, and currently hosts the morning offering through her Facebook Live program called “Pause for Prayer.” Her favorite part of ministering has been being available to people in all of her ministry settings.

This episode features Sr. Dorothy “Dot” Trosclair, a Dominican Sister of Peace. She entered religious life as a Sister of the Eucharistic Missionaries of St. Dominic; growing up in the suburb of Harvey, Louisiana, she took particular notice of the presence of the Dominicans in her everyday life. Early into her ministry, Sr. Dot taught religion in rural Louisiana parishes to children in non-Catholic schools. During the integration of schools in the 1960s, she and her fellow sisters campaigned against the specific injustice of being forced to segregate their ministry and outreach. Through her ministry, she has made a practice of “looking for life in the cracks” to help her through moments when she has witnessed injustice and inequity. Sr. Dot learned the art of spiritual direction in San Pedro Pescador Parish in St. Bernard, Louisiana. Now, she shares her gifts as the Director of the Archdiocesan Spirituality Center.
