Kenmare Press and My Aunt Is a Nun

Kenmare Press is an imprint of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace. In accord with our tradition and the spirit of our founder, Margaret Anna Cusack (Mother Francis Clare), we are delighted to launch this publishing project during our 135th anniversary year. Mother Clare was herself a prolific writer, most often publishing as M.F. Cusack or Mary Francis Cusack. By 1870, more than 200,000 copies of her works had circulated throughout the world. Profits from the sale of her books were used for the Sisters’ work with the poor. Today, many of her books are in the public domain and available to read or download online.

Currently we have three books written by sisters published under the Kenmare Press Imprint available in paperback and eBook format. Visit www.csjp.org/kenmarepress to order or download.

My Aunt Is A Nun is a podcast that features Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace giving intimate accounts of their personal journeys. These rich and often surprising stories draw from thousands of years of religious heritage, but also shed new light on the way spiritual perspectives can inform culture on love, leadership, politics, and our overall place in the world by bringing age old wisdom into modern sensibility. Join Megan Bell, your host, as she sits down with her aunt a Catholic nun and Congregation Leader and other Sisters in her community as they make pancakes, watch Netflix, tweet, sit still, seek and sing to songbirds. You can find My Aunt Is a Nun on the website myauntisanun.com and on Apple Podcasts.
