Abstract

In response to shifting demographic trends in the world and within the Catholic Church in particular, this research project explores the phenomenon of migrant women who have decided to become religious women in the US and its effects on spirituality and mental health. The study focuses on a specific group of Catholic religious sisters termed “Global Migrant Sisters” (GMS), younger women under 50 years old. It explores GMS experiences navigating cultural, linguistic, and generational challenges in their new congregational contexts. It therefore examines how GMS integration affects migrants and host communities, highlighting identity, belonging, and community dynamics.
