Sister Blandina and Her Journey to Sainthood 

June 26, 2026

6.26.26 – More than a century ago, Sister Blandina Segale moved to Santa Fe and began her work establishing public and Catholic schools, as well as hospitals, across the state. For more than a decade, local Catholic leaders have pushed for the famous nun to be considered for sainthood. This week, we revisit a previously unaired conversation with contributor Russell Contreras and Archbishop John C. Wester, as the two talk Sister Blandina and the journey she’s on for beatification and canonization.
