The Oprah Winfrey Show will air another show about the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist -- a fast-growing order familiar to Ave Maria residents because some of the sisters teach at the Donahue Academy. The sisters will be featured Tuesday, Nov. 23 on Oprah, which airs locally on WINK-TV Channel 5.

Nuns the order appeared on the program in February (right), and one of the show's staff members spent some time at the mother house in Michigan.

"The response from the first show was so positive that the sisters were asked if we would be open to another opportunity to share our life," the order said in an email.

The new show will include interviews with the order's superior, Mother Assumpta, and several other sisters as well as showing  the First and Final Profession Masses and this year's Entrance Day, during which the order welcomed 22 Aspirants.

"The show will feature the experience of a Sister entering religious life and the meaning of religious profession as being ‘married' to Christ," the order said.
