Join MMC and Professor Mary Brown as we take a look at the mystery behind a small group of innovative American women who helped shape the nation’s social and cultural landscape. Women & Spirit: Catholic Sisters in America is a traveling exhibit sponsored by the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR). Meet women who corresponded with President Thomas Jefferson, talked down bandits and roughnecks, lugged pianos into the wilderness, and provided the nation’s first health insurance to Midwestern loggers. Discover sisters’ courage during the Civil War, the Gold Rush, the San Francisco Earthquake, the Influenza Epidemic, the Civil Rights Movement, and Hurricane Katrina.
In addition to touring the exhibit, we will also take in the beautiful views of the city during the ferry ride to Ellis Island, give you a chance to look up your own ancestors, and enjoy a lunch on the Island. For more information about the exhibit, please visit www.womenandspirit.org.
