Sister Helena Burns and Using Media to Proclaim the Good News

Sister Helena Burns is not your typical nun: She tweets and texts and blogs. She’s on Facebook, YouTube and iTunes. And she’s currently writing and producing a movie.

“The self-proclaimed ‘media nun’ lives in Chicago with the Daughters of St. Paul, a Roman Catholic congregation dedicated to evangelization through media.”

A recent article in the Chicago Catholic News profiled Sister Helena (who was originally from Boston), her vocation to the Daughters of St. Paul, and her perspective on the use of various forms of media in proclaiming the Gospel message.
