Sister Teresita Weind, SNDdeN

In honor of Black Catholic History Month in November, we share this article from Global Sisters Report about the life and impact of Sister Teresita Weind, SNDdeN. Sister Teresita dedicated her life to God, and around the world, she was a tireless advocate for his goodness. The first African-American woman to lead a global congregation, she led with humility and grace, endearing herself to all.

“Now is the moment, day, era to be the place
where God dwells in mystery,
in order to make goodness known in the world.”
—Sister Teresita Weind, SNDdeN
