Making it a fitting time for a Pilgrimmage to the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception to pay respects and say hello to the Mother of the Lord.

And to remember all those spiritual mothers and sisters: visit here while you are in DC:
WOMEN & SPIRIT: Catholic Sisters in America" at the RIPLEY CENTER, SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION through APRIL 25th.
WOMEN & SPIRIT:Catholic Sisters in America is a traveling exhibit sponsored by the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) in association with Cincinnati Museum Center. Through letters, artifacts, and the spoken word, it tells how approximately 220,000 Catholic sisters, living in hundreds of religious communities, participated in the building of America, shaping its social and cultural landscape, particularly in the fields of education and health care, and more recently, social justice. From the earliest days of the republic, theirs is a remarkable story of women’s leadership, of determination and vision, exercised when women did not even have the right to vote and when there were few public forums for the voices of women.
