A Calling (2018)

A Calling shares inspirational, interwoven stories about Catholic women that are part of the background to this moments timely conversation on women's rights, women religious and being Catholic. The setting may be small-town USA, but what happens here has larger implications. Witness the testaments of risk-taking women and their supporters -- a bishop, priests, women religious, professors, parishioners -- that advance the leadership and social-justice roles of women in the Catholic Church. They are a marker of global change. A Calling reveals what is often unseen in women, the power of spirituality and the rewards of self-discovery.
