The Daughters of St. Paul
God has dared to dwell in you. Do you dare to dwell in him? What does it mean to abide in Christ? We are Catholic religious sisters gathering around the mics to break open this dare with you. Join us as, together, we explore the radical, intimate, earth shattering invitation of Jesus to each one of us.
This season, Sr. Orianne Pietra René and Sr. Julie Marie Benedicta break open the comments and questions asked by students attending the SEEK conference. Episodes published every other Wednesday.
The Daughters of St. Paul is a congregation of Catholic women living our vocation to consecrated religious life in service to God's people by preaching the Gospel through all forms of media. Nicknamed The Media Nuns, we hope that we will help you to encounter God's love wherever you happen to live, work, or scroll.
