Rosalind Moss, apologist, radio and television host, who was born as a conservative Jew, became an evangelical protestant for 18 years before becoming Catholic, is becoming a nun. Not only that, she is founding her own community of sisters in St. Louis with the permission of none other than Archbishop Raymond L. Burke.From Catholic News:

Moss, an author who is an Eternal Word Television Network TV host and one of the network’s radio hosts, announced Feb. 13 that she is starting a new community of sisters in the Archdiocese of St. Louis with the permission of Archbishop Raymond L. Burke.

The new group will be called the Daughters of Mary, Mother of Israel’s Hope, she told an audience of more than 200 at the Catholic Breakfast Club of Sacramento.

Moss, 65, said she hopes to move to St. Louis within a few months, intends to fulfill as many of her scheduled speaking engagements in the coming year as possible, and plans to continue her radio program from St. Louis.

She is working now on designing a floor-length habit, along with a basket to hold religious articles which sisters will distribute both in the poorest areas of the city and the richest.

“The purpose of this religious community is to flood the world with holy habits as signs to God,” said Moss, who is also a staff apologist with Catholic Answers, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the Catholic faith through all forms of media.

This is amazing news. Sister (or Mother?) Rosalind will be in our prayers.
