Synopsis

Discover how to engage in a faith-filled life in the era of social media from a group of young, consecrated Catholic sisters.

Friend. Artist. Writer. Businesswomen. Advocate. Scholar. The women whose pieces are included in this book hold many different titles. But they all share two important characteristics. First, they are all young women. Second, they are all consecrated religious of the Catholic order the Daughters of Saint Paul. They are millennial nuns.

More and more people—especially millennials—are turning to religion as a source of comfort and solace in our increasingly chaotic world. But rather than live a cloistered life of seclusion, the Daughters of Saint Paul actively embrace social media, using platforms like Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook to evangelize, collectively calling themselves the #MediaNuns.

In this “funny and poignant” (Colleen Carroll Campbell, award-winning author of The Heart of Perfection) memoir, eight of these Sisters share their own discernment journeys, struggles, and crises of faith that they’ve overcome, and episodes from their daily lives. Through these reflections, the Sisters also offer practical takeaways and tips for living a more spiritually-fulfilled life, no matter your religious affiliation.

In a collection as diverse and varied as the Daughters of Saint Paul themselves, Millennial Nuns will appeal to anyone looking to discover more about balancing faith with the modern age.

Goodreads review by Karen

True confessions, I picked this up with a little apprehension, not sure how much I could possibly have in common with a group of nuns, regardless of their age. I may be a Protestant, but I do know that nuns are not all elderly women singing with Julie Andrews's Maria, locked in their stone convents,......more

Goodreads review by Cathryn

What a group of inspiring young ladies! I enjoyed the stories of how these young women came into their calling. The power of the Holy Spirit is felt in each testimony. What really spoke to me was how they all truly listened, gave it much thought, and were obedient. Definitely more mature than their......more
