There are only 2️⃣ episodes left in season 3 of the Catholic Feminist Podcast! 🙌🏻 Today’s guest, Gail DeGeorge, is the perfect penultimate* show for y’all. Gail is the editor of the Global Sisters Report, a project that features stories about Catholic sisters and the critical issues facing the people they serve. The GSR journalists report about their lives and works, and sisters write commentary from their perspective. Gail is here to talk to us about the importance of supporting our sisters around the world, what sisters’ stories she’s been most inspired by lately, and how to balance a love of serving globally with the importance of serving locally. I loved chatting with her and I pray our conversation resonates with the part of you that’s motivated to get out there + live a life of sacrifice, service, + sisterhood.
