A grassroots humanitarian effort in North Dakota is providing clean water to mothers, children, and orphans in Africa. The Water with Blessings project provides purification equipment that’s changing the lives of thousands of people. Cliff Naylor reports on a simple device that makes an immense impact. This gathering in Kenya, East Africa, was held to celebrate something many Americans take for granted. Father David Morman ministers to more than 400 Africans who struggle daily to find clean water. “Water is collected from potholes, from ditches where water collects after a rain,” said Morman.

Thanks to the Water with Blessings project, dirty or contaminated water can now be easily purified. Wes and Kathy Pepple have distributed 150 donated filtering systems to people in Kisii, East Africa. The devices prevent the spread of deadly diseases like typhoid and cholera. “The filters help not just one person or one family, each filter helps four other families, because the women who actually end up with a filter are asked that they would help to filter water for other families,” said Kathy Pepple.

Wes explained: “This is the filter if it’s properly back flushed it will last for up to a million gallons. It’s just a mesh I think, it’s just like a kidney dialysis machine, they compare it to that.” The Peoples instructed women on how to use the systems when they were in Africa, and nuns serving in the Kenyan Mission who speak Swahili also do training. Nat sound of Africans saying “Amarabusee” Un-gave-ah in Swahili means very pure or very clean. The Diocese of Bismarck is coordinating an effort to get even more filters into the hands of Africans. They hope the effort creates a ripple effect that will spread all across the continent.

BISMARCK, N.D. – I never got a chance to interview President George H.W. Bush, but I did have the opportunity for a one-on-one with First Lady Barbara Bush the night before the 1992 election. She had been campaigning all day and she got to Bismarck sometime mid-day. I was in a small back room at the Arrowhead Mall in Bismarck with the photographer, Cliff Naylor. There were no windows. We couldn’t see anything. We were simply told to wait. While we did, a member of the Secret Service detail came in and checked the room, they brought in a dog, they checked our bags and cameras, etc. And then they left and we waited some more.

At one point, a guy in coveralls wandered through and climbed up into the ceiling. We thought he must be part of the security detail, but when the Secret Service agent checked back and saw the ceiling open, there was a flurry of activity. The dogs came back, the agents came back and we were taken to a different room for a time. We were later told it was a maintenance man who just sort of stumbled through. How he got in, I do not know. As for the interview, she was gracious but strong. She had a mission, to campaign for her husband, and she fulfilled it admirably. It was a great memory.

BISMARCK, N.D. – If you grew up in the 1960s, you may remember “The Singing Nun,” or “The Flying Nun.” Movie stars Debbie Reynolds and Sally Field, outfitted inhabits, starred as sisters in a popular motion picture and television show about religious women who were cut from a different cloth. A new nun is quietly making a name for herself, but unless you’re a long distance runner, you’re probably are not familiar with the Benedictine who pounds the pavement when she’s not at prayer.

Sister Melissa Cote’s life has taken lots of twists and turns. “I was turning 40 and I decided I wanted to run a 5K,” said Sister Melissa Cote. This story has legs that go back way before Cote’s midlife mission to become a road racer. While attending the University of Mary as a teenage nursing student, the nuns at the college made a meaningful impression on her. One that changed her life. “There was just this joyful spirit about them,” said Cote.

She found her calling among the Benedictines and professed solemn vows in 2002. “Melissa is a joy to have in a community, we appreciate the joy she brings to us,” said Sister Nicole Kunze, Prioress of Annunciation Monastery. Cote is one of the 41 members of Annunciation Monastery. The Benedictine community nuns range in age from 23 to 102.  She participates in communal prayer morning, noon and night, attends Mass daily and finds time for private meditations throughout her day.

Cote’s day begins at 4:30 a.m with strength and weight training. April Lund is her strength and conditioning coach. “If you want to be faster, you want to be stronger, you want to prevent injury, you have to weight train,” said Lund, Verge Fitness trainer. Cote finished her first 5K in 34 minutes in April of 2018, she now runs that distance in 22 minutes. “I really enjoy running and so I have just kept it up,” said Cote.

She moved up to the half marathon this year and runs it in under an hour and 50 minutes. “I’ve never heard of a running nun either. She’s good, she’s not just a runner, she’s very talented,” said Lund. “The way she has been able to balance ministry, community life, and all the training and exercising, I commend her for that,” said Kunze. Cote runs three to five miles a day, in addition to strength training. She doesn’t have much time to rest. Along with her intense training regiment, daily devotion to individual and community prayer, she works 40 hours a week as a pharmacist at Saint Alexius Medical Center.
