Iraqi Nun Leads Boston University Catholic Chaplaincy

The National Catholic Register recently ran an interesting profile of Sister Olga of the Eucharist Yaqob, who is an Iraqi-born archdiocesan hermit in the Boston Archdiocese and is also co-director of the Catholic Center and the Catholic chaplain for Boston University.
