Live from Rome: Teaching Peace with Sister Nina (Part 1)

In this episode, recorded in Rome and Brooklyn, Teaching Peace host Jason Storbakken speaks with Sister Maria Nina Benedicta Krapic, a Sister of Mercy of St. Vincent DePaul and communications specialist at the Vatican’s Dicastery for Communication. Speaking in her personal capacity, Sister Nina offers heartfelt reflections on: What it was like in St. Peter’s Square during Pope Leo’s election The preferential option for the poor and how it reshapes our worldview How women religious are leading anti-trafficking and abuse-prevention efforts in 77+ countries The Church’s call to create communities of care, mercy, and justice Why relationship is the heart of moral clarity Social media as a space for public witness rooted in love Why the living Church is found not in headlines, but in local communities 📍 “If you want to know the Church, go to the parishes. Look for people who feed the hungry, who love the guilty, who share their tables.” — Sister Nina This is part one of a two-part conversation. Part two will appear in our Sister Sister series, centering women’s voices in the work of healing a broken world.
