Faith in Providence
Women Religious in America

An Emmy nominated film by Elizabeth Wilda and Steve Wilda
that explores an unrecognized area of women’s history. Women religious have made enormous humanitarian contributions to American society that remains largely unrecognized. Since the eighteenth century, Catholic Sisters pioneered in bringing schools, hospitals, and social services across the country to many places that previously had none. In an age where few women choose religious life, these sisters exhibit the same qualities as their earlier pioneers: adaptation, action, and a deep commitment to social justice.

Framing his work through the matrix of natural images, Swist leads viewers through the snowy woods of Amherst, Massachusetts.
“Wally Swist’s poems are full of clean perceptions and clear proportionate feeling. They have a fine balance, doing justice to the natural, the human, and the divine” -Richard Wilbur
