Women & Spirit: Catholic Sisters in America is coming to Ellis Island, the port of entry for thousands of immigrants and the Catholic sisters who came to our country to serve them. This traveling exhibit, sponsored by the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) will be housed at the Ellis Island Immigration Museum, Statue of Liberty National Monument from September 23, 2010 to January 22, 2011.
Women & Spirit reveals the mystery behind a small group of innovative American women – Catholic Sisters – who helped shape the nation’s social and cultural landscape. Even at a time when women didn’t have the right to vote, these pioneering leaders in their communities helped build American’s schools, hospitals, orphanages, and colleges. In ways both creative and compelling, the Women & Spirit exhibit illustrates the enormous impact the lives of these remarkable women have had on both our church and our nation’s history, and invites all to discover a world few have seen but millions have shared.
