Sr. Miriam James Heidland
was recruited to the University of Nevada- Reno on a full volleyball scholarship as Sharon Heidland. 800 miles away from church going parents, she had everything the world said she needed to be happy. She was a star athlete on a full ride, academically successful, a beautiful and popular party girl with a football player boyfriend, a late night disc jockey, and aspired to be a “fabulously wealthy” business woman and live a “glamorous life.” Yet she felt something was missing. She knew she had to do more with her life. Thus began her journey back to Christ.
Sr. Miriam is a member of the Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity (SOLT) serving in the Pacific Northwest. Her community serves those in deepest apostolic need in many parts of the world. Smart, funny, quick-witted, outgoing, and a communications major, she co-hosts a radio program, “Sisters In Christ” and has appeared on EWTN’s “Life on the Rock.”
