By car, train, and this time by bus, Sisters of Saint Joseph, SSJ Associates and friends are making a journey to the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, DC.
In the Ripley Center at the Smithsonian, they are visiting
Women and Spirit:
Catholic Sisters in America.
Below are Sisters and SSJ Associates in Mission who are traveling from Mount Saint Joseph Convent and Saint Joseph Villa. They expect to see letters, legal documents, videos, interactive displays, photographs and artifacts — all collected and arranged to tell the story of the hundreds of women religious who have lived and served in ministries of education, health care, pastoral care and social work in cities and towns across America from the early days of her history.
Sisters Francis Christi Beck, Mary Catherine Manley and SSJ Associate Marcia Norcini make sure no one boards the bus without a hearty lunch.

Above, a crowd of eager pilgrims grows as departure time nears.
As more and more share their experience of the exhibit, word of feelings of pride, amazement, and joy grows. Sister Mary Dacey is part of the LCWR History Committee that worked more than four years to build the display from dream to reality.
