In our Spring issue of Presentation Doorways, we embark on a journey of reflection upon our rich history and narratives from the past, while embracing the future with hope and confidence, as we prepare for our 150th anniversary of the foundation of the Sisters of the Presentation in Dubuque, Iowa. As we approach this significant milestone, we look forward to sharing with you glimpses of our storied history and the countless ways Nano’s light has been tended over the years.
