Yahoo! Finally a video (rough as it is) on the IHM blog, ! After unsuccessfully consulting many experts, I discovered the real expert, my twenty-one year old niece, Katie. And her consultation fee couldn’t be beat!
A few weeks ago I wrote about what a great experience it was to have Marygrove students visit the Motherhouse. I didn’t mention the reason for the trip. Marygrove College in Detroit was founded by the IHMs and the school is committed to keeping the IHM heritage alive in the school. So each year the new students visit for a day. They learn about IHM history, tour the prize-winning sustainable renovation of the motherhouse and gather in small groups with sisters to ask them questions. They almost always ask, “What made you want to be a nun?” and “Didn’t you ever want to get married and have kids?” As they move to different groups of sisters they get honest and quite varied answers. Hopefully these young men and women leave the our Motherhouse with new understanding and respect for religious life.
A big “Thank you” to the two women, Robin Warmack and Mariah De’Nooijer who speak on this video.
