Sister Jean spills her secret on a long life as she turns 103

Sister Jean has a big weekend ahead. The longtime Loyola chaplain turns 103 on Sunday.

In addition to having the plaza named after her, Sister Jean will also throw out the first pitch at the Chicago Cubs game Tuesday.

The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum has also released a limited-edition Sister Jean ornament and dashboard bobblehead.

You'll need to act fast, however, because there's just a few of them available.

Meanwhile, Sister Jean is sharing her secret to living a long life.

"Well, I say that I eat well, I sleep well, and hopefully I pray well," she said. "Never did I think that I'd be 103. I thought that when I was 95 I better be ready, ya know, to go to my creator. And then I thought, well, just keep living until he wants you."
