Dominican sisters at St. Thomas the Apostle

The Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist are a young order that has seen explosive growth in the past few years. Local Catholics know the sisters who teach at schools throughout the Valley and live in a convent at St. Thomas the Apostle Parish.

Now, thanks to one of the most-watched shows in America, a great many more people will know about the nuns. Tomorrow, on the 13th anniversary of the order’s founding, four nuns will appear on the Oprah Winfrey Show. A correspondent for the show traveled to the order’s convent in Michigan for a behind-the-scenes look at religious life.

You can view a teaser for the piece at Oprah’s YouTube page.
