Flourishing Sisterhood

This episode features Sr. Judy Gomila, a Marianite Sister of the Holy Cross and native of New Orleans. Sr. Judy has served in various ministries. Notably, she was the first woman appointed to the National Board of the Pontifical Mission Societies in the early 2000s. She explains how, as a missionary sister, she continues to find God in all places—whether that be in Alaska or the Wal-Mart check-out line.
