Projects she has completed with the art club include the Memory Project, in which art club members joined a national initiative in painting the portraits of poor children living in Colombia.

Religious sisters who have collaborated on a book, “Personality and Prayer: A Reflective Journal.” Sister Bridget Connor and Sister Diane Bardol, both of the Grey Nuns of the Sacred Heart, have invited readers to discover how honoring their personality type can provide a richer and more satisfying prayer life as they navigate their spiritual journeys.
Sister Bridget, right, is a professor at the Notre Dame of Maryland University School of Education, and Sister Diane, left, is a longtime educator and former director of the P. Francis Murphy Initiative for Justice and Peace in Baltimore.
“We each establish our own way of interacting and speaking to God,” Sister Diane observed. “The preference for a way of praying is as unique as individuals.”
“Personality and Prayer” is available on Amazon.
