Profile of Sister Bernadette A Columbia musician and sister
Sister Bernadette, a Columbia music student born in Syracuse, discusses her call to the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, her move from convent life to a secular campus, and her evolving composing. She notes teaching at a Catholic high school, founding a music program, and experimenting with twentieth century techniques while balancing prayer and study. She reflects on feminism, Pope Francis positions, Barnard ties, and living expressively outside traditional habits.
