The Center for the Study of Spirituality is delighted to host a reception to celebrate the publication of "Holy Women Making History," the 2025 Madeleva Lecture by Kathleen Cummings, PhD and "The Legacies of Sr. Madeleva Wolff, CSC," edited by Jessica Coblentz, PhD and Susan Mancino, PhD in the new Heritage and Research Center (HARC) at Saint Mary's building. Join us for mocktails, charcuterie, and cupcakes to celebrate the legacy of women religious, and toast to the important scholarship of local researchers!
HARC is a collaboration between ten congregations of Catholic sisters to collect and maintain their documents and artifacts. These records trace more than 175 years of ministry across the United States and around the world. They reveal how Catholic sisters have shaped education, healthcare, and social justice in the communities they serve. The archives also provide insight into how the congregations have grown and adapted to changes in society and religious life.
