About This Podcast

Called to Be... is the podcast of the US Province of the Holy Union Sisters, a congregation of Catholic Sisters. Each episode will feature several Sisters discussing a wide array of topics, including spirituality, faith, ministries, social justice, and much more. Our Sisters started and staffed dozens of schools in the Northeast US starting back in the late 1800's, and then branched out into many new ministries helping those in need which span the globe. As of 2021 we have Sisters in 17 countries and on 4 continents. We are "Called to be at the heart of the world revealing God's love".
