That All May Be One (2008)

Where have all the sisters gone? Their unusual dress once made them easy to identify, but since the Second Vatican Council and the move to secular clothing, nuns have become invisible. Not so the vibrant Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, the CEOs of a religious 'Fortune 500' nonprofit corporation. Their work is a vital part of communities throughout the United States, Canada, Chile, Japan and Peru. But the number of sisters is declining. Very few young women are joining their ranks today. This story profiles the Sisters of St. Joseph in the St. Louis province and the challenges they face in sustaining their schools, hospitals and universities established when they came to America in 1836.
