We have received some queries about “Women & Spirit: Catholic Sisters in America,” the traveling exhibit that looks at the lives and contributions of women religious in America from when Catholic sisters and nuns began arriving in what would be the USA in the early 18th century up through today.
The exhibit is a project of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious. Here is the schedule:
- May 9, 2010 - August 28, 2010
Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage (Cleveland, Ohio) - September 24, 2010 – January 22, 2011
Statue of Liberty National Monument / Ellis Island Immigration Museum (Liberty Island, New York) - February 2011 - April 2011

A reveiw of the show at the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage in Cleveland says, "Bring a hanky when you come because some of the stories told by “Women & Spirit” are heartrending."
