LCWR Creates an Exhibit on the Contributions of
Catholic Sisters to US History


LCWR is in the process of creating an exhibit on the rich history and contributions of Catholic sisters in the United States. Through photographs, artifacts and documentary material drawn from the archives of many congregations, this exhibit, entitled "Women & Spirit: Catholic Sisters in America, will tell how sisters played a vital role in shaping American life from before the earliest days of the republic and throughout its history.

LCWR plans to open the exhibit in spring 2009 at one of the nation's best-known history museums and then make it available to travel to other museums throughout the country.
