Join us on December 2nd for the 40th Anniversary of Roses in December
The day is set for commemorating the lives of four Church women murdered in El Salvador. For many years the Sisters of St. Francis have participated in delegations to El Salvador where we have witnessed firsthand some of the atrocities that have taken place at the hands of many trained at the U.S. Army School of the Americas in Fort Benning, Georgia. Among the many Salvadorans who have been tortured, raped, and shot are four women who were living out their personal commitment to love and care for God’s poor.
And so we remember these women: Maryknoll Sisters Ita Ford and Maura Clark; lay missioner Jean Donovan; and Ursuline Sister Dorothy Kazel on this the 40th anniversary of their deaths. Please join us on Wednesday, December 2, to remember in prayer these courageous women and the people of El Salvador who continue to need our prayers.
Consider watching the following videos and praying with us this day!
Below is the NY Times Documentary entitled Killed in El Salvador: An American Story | Retro Report. Another good documentary, though longer is Roses in December which you can watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSn6mjU10PQ.
