Clip from "In Good Faith" podcast

St. Joseph Sr. Patricia Flass has lived and worked around Selma, Alabama, for over 20 years, helping those in rural areas who live in poverty. Sister Pat talks to Sister Maxine about the need for rural ministry, and how the program (funded by the Hilton Foundation) that she leads introduces religious sisters to opportunities for service.
