This episode features Sr. John Mary Jackson, a Sister of the Holy Family. In second grade, Sr. John Mary knew that she was being called to the sisterhood from a young age, when she would craft poster boards into habits to play dress-up. From playtime to taking her vows, Sr. John Mary entered religious life following her high school graduation in 1961. She has been a religious sister for over sixty years now; in that time, she has been a principal in the United States and Belize, the formation director of her congregation, and a fiber artist. Based on her and her fellow sisters’ many years of experience, Sr. John Mary says that “the sap is still green.” She is confident that the older sisters keep an evergreen attitude when it comes to following their vows to God, and serving their communities.
