Five women who are considering becoming Catholic nuns will be at the center of The Sisterhood, a new docuseries on Lifetime. According to the network, the series will be the first time cameras have gone inside three convents to tell the story of women who are making the life-changing choice of devoting themselves to their religion and preparing to take their the vows. The convents that cooperated in the series include The Carmelites for the Aged and Infirm (Germantown, New York), The Daughters of St. Mary of Providence (Chicago, Illinois), and The Sister of St. Joseph the Worker (Walton, Kentucky).
The six-episode season one of The Sisterhood will debut on November 25, 2014 at 10pm ET/PT.
The Plot:
In observance of the sacred vows of chastity, poverty and obedience, they leave behind everything they have come to love – boyfriends, family members and all their worldly possessions – to see if they have what it takes to become servants of the church and brides of Christ.
Christie, 27, from Glendale, California, likes to rock out with her country music band while still following all the traditional tenets of the church.
Claire, 26, a parish music minister from Joliet, Illinois, was homeschooled throughout her childhood in a devout Catholic home.
Eseni, 23, a former beauty queen and aspiring model from the Bronx, rebelled against the church as a teen but has returned to Catholicism in search of her true calling.
Francesca, 21, is a recent graduate and die-hard believer from New Jersey who struggles with church positions on hot-button issues.
Stacey, 26, is a lifelong Catholic who lives in New York and has traveled throughout the country, performing in musical theater.
