Nan Cano, IHM, MA is a past Vice-President of the Immaculate Heart Community of California. She taught with the sisters as they began their metamorphosis from a vowed religious community to a lay Christian community in 1970. Among her three books is the history of the community, Take Heart: Growing as a Faith Community. Her contribution to the Encyclopedia of World Religions summarizes the evolution (Wrldrels.org). The research involved for the book and encyclopedia entry sparked her archival curiosity and she became the driving force behind the IHC transfer of archives to the University of Southern California Special Collections. Nan was research consultant to the documentary film Rebel Hearts tracing the community's decision to change its direction (Available on HBO Max). Nan and her husband relish travel, especially river cruises and time with their grandchildren. Her devotion to prison ministry and immigration reform shape her activism for social justice.
