This episode features Sr. Regina Marie Fronmuller, an Ursuline Sister, tells us about her dedication to service and sharing in religious life. Generosity was a value instilled in Sr. Regina Marie from a young age by her family and the Church as she partook in the care of her relatives, neighbors, and greater community. Although she had initially considered becoming a nurse with her penchant for hospitality, ultimately Sr. Regina Marie pursued religious life. She was drawn to her congregation because of their invitational nature and prayerfulness. Her name in religious life connects her to her great-aunt, Mother Regina, who was also an Ursuline sister. As a religious sister, she has been a teacher and encouraged creativity in students of all ages by developing art programs and departments. After moving from Illinois to Louisiana, Sr. Regina Marie’s ministry has focused on the Saint Bernard Project, an organization dedicated to helping families recover after natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina. 

The Flourishing Sisterhood Project is supported by the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation’s Catholic Sisters Initiative. The podcast is produced by the Loyola Institute for Ministry and retained by the university’s Digital Humanities Archive.
