Sr. Miriam James Heidland, SOLT, rocked Hope College campus this past week with a series of inspiring talks, workshops, and simply with her joyful and evangelical presence.

On Wednesday, March 4th (50 years to the day of the release of The Sound of Music!), three nuns arrived on Hope’s campus. Little did we know what was coming...

The first Catholic-themed immersion trip at Hope College was an initiative of the Saint Benedict Forum and was generously co-sponsored by Hope College's Campus Ministries and Union of Catholic Students as well as Holland, Michigan's St. Francis De Sales Catholic Church. The theme of the trip was poverty, religious life, and social justice in Chicago's Humboldt Park neighborhood. The group lived with and worked alongside the Franciscans of the Eucharist who run the Mission of Our Lady of the Angels.
