Random Nun Clip

In this Random Nun Clip, high school students send in a series of questions about what a convent is and how it's different from "just a large house." Hosts for this episode, Immaculate Heart of Mary Srs. Maxine Kollach and Jane Aseltyne talk about community, a central part of religious life, and how its domestic location affects that.
