QUIRKY WORLD ... Aspiring nun has her debt prayers answered

US: An aspiring nun who was told she couldn’t enter a convent until her student loan debt was paid off has used an online appeal to get the money.

Alida Taylor, 28, was accepted to join the Sisters of Life in New York City in September.

The Clifton, New Jersey, woman started a GoFundMe page late last month, hoping to get $12,000 (€10,870) to pay down her student loans. She surpassed her goal, raising more than $22,000.
