From Lutheran minister in-training to Catholic Cloistered Nun

Sister John Marie grew up in a Lutheran home and always felt a call to live closely united with God. Learning from a young age, that Lutherans don't have nuns, she decided to become a Lutheran minister and went to college to make that dream come true. It wasn't long before she realized that wasn't her call, and God showed her through many twists and turns where he wanted her to be. Now, she has found true joy and peace in being a Poor Clare Sister in a cloistered convent in St Cloud, MN.
The convent she joined is called the Poor Clare Monastery of the Immaculate Conception. Learn more about joining the Poor Clare Sisters at: https://poorclares.stcdio.org/
