Two years ago, Sister Miriam James from the Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity spent the entire Super Bowl 50 doing play-by-play tweets with her fellow sister, Sister Mary.
“We started it a couple of years ago just for fun, and then it grew from there,” she told the Huffington Post. They had so much fun that they tweeted during Super Bowl 51 last year, too. The sisters came back for Super Bowl 52 and they didn’t disappoint.
“We love to laugh and hopefully bring people joy (while watching the Eagles win),” Sister Miriam says. It sure brought us joy here at Epic Pew!
How do Nuns pick their teams?
1. Pick the team because they’ve never won before.
2. Pick because of colors.
3. Pick because of team member’s character. #SuperBowlintheConvent #SuperBowl https://t.co/ZOvkQmcvg1— Sr Lisa Marie Doty, Canossian Sisters (@Sr_Lisa) February 4, 2018

One Sister just yelled, “Go Eagles! Fly, Eagles Fly!”
The rest of us just turned and glared.

Even more exciting than the Super Bowl was watching Catholic react to the sassy sisters. Some even commented that seeing the joy in the sisters’ lives encouraged them to go back to Mass! Now that’s a real win.
Everyone follow #SuperbowlintheConvent its the greatest thing ever! I may have to go back to mass!
