School Sisters have audience with Pope Francis

ROME—Sister Maria Iannuccillo, SSND, along with several other members of the School Sisters of Notre Dame, had an opportunity for a private audience with Pope Francis on November 13 during their 25th General Chapter meeting in Rome.

The Pope told the nuns to continue being “courageous witnesses of evangelical solidarity at a time when many are experiencing fragmentation and disunity,” and invited them “to discern how you can more effectively bear witness to the joy of the Gospel,” especially through their educational apostolate and service.” Sister Maria called the experience “a moment I will treasure forever.”
