Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota has entered into a partnership with the Catholic Extension Society to educate nearly 40 Latin American religious sisters over the next five years. These religious sisters will be in mission dioceses in the United States, ministering among Latino immigrant populations while earning their degrees online and in a hybrid format at Saint Mary’s. The program is made possible through Catholic Extension’s partnership with the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, which has the goal of enhancing congregational vitality for religious sisters in the Global South. The program will begin in fall 2020 and conclude by spring 2025.
