A few famous sisters

Dennis Coday  |  Apr. 26, 2012 NCR Today

Did you see this feature on the Washington Post website:

A few famous nuns [1]
In light of the Vatican’s action on Wednesday, here is a list of nuns who have become known in the broader world. Two of the Americans listed have been canonized.

No real surprises in the slide show: Mother Teresa, Elizabeth Ann Seton, Katharine Drexel. Typing "catholic sister" in Google images will give you these search results. Let's be a bit more creative.

How about: Anita Caspary, Margaret Brennan, Dorothy Stang, Mary Luke Tobin, Joan Chittister?

Chime in here: Who are women religious who should have been named to that list? Post their photos to the Facebook page: Support Our Catholic Sisters [2]
