This episode features Sr. Charlotte Rubit, a Sister of the Holy Family, with seventy-five years of experience in religious life. At just fifteen years old, she made the decision to enter the sisterhood. In the 60s and 70s, Sr. Charlotte’s ministry focused on desegregating schools across the Western and Southern United States, in areas with deep racial prejudices. Outside of her courageous work in education, Sr. Charlotte has taken several pilgrimages to Holy Sites in Europe and the Middle East. Through her travels, Sr. Charlotte and her fellow pilgrims have witnessed miracles, including the Blessed Mother in Medjugorje, which grounded her spirituality.
