Every Sister has a beautiful, unique story of how they became a bride of Christ...but not many of them can say they walked by the headquarters of the KGB to attend Mass at the height of Communist rule. For Sr. Maria Gemma, that was just one of many highlights in her journey to the convent. Along the way, she discovered a deep love for the Moscow Dominicans, a fascination with Russian literature, and a calling that could only be satisfied by Christ Himself.

Sr. Miriam sits down with Sr. Elizabeth Ann, O.P., to explore one of the Church's most essential missions — passing on the faith in its fullness. Together they dive into what catechesis truly is, why it matters far beyond a classroom, and how the Church has always understood itself as a community called to hand on the living truth of the Gospel from one generation to the next.
Central to their conversation is Echoing the Mystery, a beautifully crafted catechetical resource, designed to help Catholics encounter the deposit of faith not just as information to be learned, but as a mystery to be lived. If you've ever wondered what it really means to know and share what the Church believes, this episode is for you.
