For Benedictine Sister, coaching football about passing on mission, values

Benedictine Sister Lisa Maurer, who coaches kickers and punters for The College of St. Scholastica Saints football team in Duluth, Minn., is pictured during a game in late September. Sister Lisa joined the monastery at St. Scholastica seven years ago, one year before the school established a football program.

WASHINGTON - Sr. Lisa Maurer is a Benedictine nun who lives at the St. Scholastica Monastery on the campus of the College of St. Scholastica in Duluth, Minnesota. She works at the Benedictine Health Centre next to the monastery, serving senior members of the community. She prays, studies and ministers at local parishes.

She also happens to coach a men's football team.
