Sisters Shine Special Week's
Spotlight on Real-Life Issues
Fifty-two weeks a year, our Sisters in the United States and other women religious around the world stand with the poor and immigrants, teach children, fight injustice, heal the sick, share spirituality, empower women, defend the planet, promote peace, create community and offer hope. But for one week, March 8-14, we step into the Catholic Sisters Week spotlight to raise greater awareness about issues that impact people with whom we interact every day.
As we told you last week, our answer to Pope Francis' universal call to "care for our common home" means reaching out to the poor in the communities where we serve. We again invite you to celebrate this special week with us by supporting our efforts to collect food, raise funds, and educate others about food insecurity and environmental issues.
