Catholic sisters from many countries around the world come to the United States to minister and to study. The authors of this book combined forces to document and understand this phenomenon. Together they located more than 4,000 "international sisters" who are in the United States for formation, studies, or ministry, from 83 countries spread over six continents. This book examines the experience of these sisters in depth and offers valuable suggestions forreligious institutes, Catholic dioceses and parishes, and others who benefit from their contributions.
