Finding each other is one of the challenges we face today. We took a poll of the room and a majority gathered here raised their hands indicating they had moved five times or more since they entered religious life. We are everywhere, all over the country, and in so many different ministries. We joked about a young nun app, and then thought, "hey why not!" We need to be able to connect so we can support each other, as sisters, as we face many of the unique challenges in our lives. We know that we exist in a global reality, sometime living too far apart to ever meet, and we also love gathering so we can meet each other organically and find the common things which spark joy in our lives and enable us to live Gospel lives.
