As the Liturgical Year comes to a close and we prepare to start a new Liturgical Year in December, we pause to take a look back on the wide range of discussions and topics we covered this past year. Called to Be's producer, Ken Gustin, reviews the last twelve months of episodes and encourages you to listen to your favorites a second time right from our website at www.holyunionsisters.org, or take the time to listen to episodes you may have missed.

Sr. Fran Cavey and Ken Gustin, Called to Be..'s producer, discuss a thought-provoking video by Irshad Manji, a former self-proclaimed "culture warrior" who has changed her perspective and now offers five strategies to overcome division and ultimately help understand where others are coming from while being better understood by them. In an increasingly polarized nation and world, these strategies can help bring down the temperature and help us better understand one another. To watch the actual video, click here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0d087daOZY . Also, a reference is made during the discussion to a scene in The Chosen (Episode 2, Season 4) ... Peter forgives Matthew. The link to this scene is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFRt5SI9F0k

This month's episode is the second installment of our "My Story" series, wherein a Holy Union Sister shares her story which brought her to our congregation and the ministries she has dedicated her life to. This installment features Sr. Ann Kernan, a colorful story teller. She starts by sharing a unique family history which has many links to Holy Union starting in Ireland in the 1800's. During her talk to our Associates, she shared a number of family photos which we have posted on our Facebook page for you to see. We hope you enjoy this facsinating and unique account.
