In this episode of Here's My Secret Alicia gives an update on Rocky Pierson, a student at St. Catherine University who participated in the SisterStory project as a student oral historian in the Fall of 2014. During her semester Rocky was paired with Sister Katherine McLaughlin, a Sister of St. Joseph of the St. Paul Provence in St. Paul, Minnesota. Rocky and her Sister were able to develop over the course of the semester a deep relationship of both friendship and mentorship, which as we all know, can change a person’s first year of college experience and lead to new opportunities.

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.
