Why ‘Nuns React’??

Why are religious sisters spending time making videos about movies and social media? Shouldn't we just be in chapel? Yes... But ours is an apostolic community, and we're called to evangelize. Even more, we're a Pauline community, which means media. Confused? Watch to learn more!

But why though???

Why are religious sisters spending time making videos about movies and social media? Shouldn’t we just be in chapel?

Yes. But ours is an apostolic community, and we’re called to evangelize. Even more, we’re a Pauline community, which means media. Confused? Watch to learn more about how Catholic sisters came to be involved in media, and what the Church has taught in the past several decades about cinema, storytelling, and more. J.R.R. Tolkien, Pope Pius XII, Pope Benedict XVI all weigh in on the question of Why Nuns React?

If you have more questions, please drop them in the comments and we’ll do our best to answer them!

Who We Are

The Daughters of St. Paul, a congregation of Catholic women religious, live our vocation in service to God’s people by proclaiming the Gospel through all forms of media. Our profoundly Eucharistic spirituality roots us in Jesus so that no matter what we do—writing, graphic design, radio, video, social media, music, art—we may be a communication of Christ’s love to every person we encounter.

Discern Your Vocation

We regularly host opportunities for vocational discernment, providing a space for young women to learn about religious life and pray about where God is calling them. Get in touch with us to learn about events near you or to speak with a Sister.
