Faith, Hope and Love Part 2

Here's My Secret is a podcast produced by Alicia Beyer, a student at St. Catherine University, about the oral history project SisterStory. Through interviews with student oral historians she learns more about their experiences and the valuable relationships forged between them and their Sister during the semester process. By reading the SisterStory blogs and personally getting to know each student prior to interviewing, we gain insight through Alicia into how this experience has changed individual lives and evolved perspectives on women religious.
