Earth Day is April 22. It is the day after Easter this year and thus serves as a poignant reminder that our care for the earth is an integral part of our faith.

Shalom Solidarity Reflection

A common theme runs through our ministries: Being there, first and foremost, in encouraging, empowering, and supporting girls and women. The directional statement of the 24th General Chapter culminates in the call for us to be women of peace, hope, and love in the heart of the world. Therefore, it is about both being and being there for others, especially for women who need our solidarity.
