In the finale episode of our series honoring Older Americans Month, host Susan Wallace sits down with remarkable resident Sister Pat Hayden, who resides at the Mother House of the Sisters of Charity. Adopted in Canada alongside her ”twin” brother by a military family, Sister Pat’s life is a powerful story of resilience and leadership.

From overcoming personal tragedy to serving on the frontlines of historic moments—including her presence at Columbine, the site of the first mass school shooting—Sister Pat has lived a life marked by service and strength. A life-altering health scare led her to the sisterhood with a realization that, ”If I don't walk with Christ, I'll never walk again.”

Her ministry would span roles as a teacher, chaplain, and hospital executive, each chapter shaped by purpose and compassion. Don’t miss this moving conversation with a truly remarkable woman.
