A team of three sisters from Ann Arbor's Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist - "a Roman Catholic community of women … founded in the Dominican tradition to spread the witness of religious life in accord with Pope John Paul II's vision for a new evangelization," according to DSM's website - are headed to the season two finals of Game Show Network's "American Bible Challenge."

"American Bible Challenge," hosted by comedian Jeff Foxworthy, features, in each episode, three teams of three squaring off over their biblical knowledge. 18 teams compete over the course of the show's first 6 episodes, and then two semi-final rounds narrow the field to three teams that compete in the finals.

Each team chooses a charity, and the sisters - who could win a total of $140,000 if they win the finals - are raising money for a retirement fund to support retiring sisters. (The DSM team has already raised $40,000 with their wins in the first round and semi-final round.)

On the "ABC" episode that aired April 11 at 9 p.m., the Ann Arbor sisters' team - consisting of Sisters Peter Joseph, Evangeline and Maria Suso - claimed the first spot in this season's finals competition - though the date that the finals will air has yet to be announced, according to DSM's Facebook page. New episodes generally air Thursdays at 9 p.m.

Check out MyFoxDetroit's television interview with the sisters, which aired in anticipation of the team's appearance on the March 21 season premiere of "ABC."
