In this episode, Alicia tells the story of Sarah Garcia, a first year at St. Catherine University who worked with Sister Virginia Matter, OSB, is a Benedictine at St. Paul’s Monastery. Sarah, like so many who have worked on this project, learned that Sisters have a bot of a rebellious side to themselves as well as a selfless and caring nature. Getting to know a Sister, for Sarah, was like peeling an onion, the layers just keep on coming!

Here's My Secret is a podcast produced by Alicia Beyer about the oral history project SisterStory. Through interviews with student oral historians she learns more about their experiences and the valuable relationships forged between them and their Sister during the semester process. By reading the SisterStory
blogs (www.sisterstory.org/student-blog) and personally getting to know each student prior to interviewing, we gain insight through Alicia into how this experience has changed individual lives and evolved perspectives on women religious. SisterStory is the ongoing story of National Catholic Sisters Week aimed at broadening awareness of Catholic sisters through the collection of oral histories, social media outreach, and the creation of additional media content.
