Welcome

Welcome to this CRRA subject guide designed to connect Catholic  Portal users to materials on women's religious institutes. It provides links that will search the Catholic Portal for books and other types of hard copy materials, and to digital collections at CRRA institutions. It will also link users to relevant  documents from the Vatican and the Internet. The women's religious institutes highlighted on this guide are those affiliated with CRRA member institutions, those with historically large worldwide memberships, and those that were founded in North America. We hope you will find this guide useful.
