Fifty-two weeks a year women religious 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 in the United States, the spotlight will shine on women religious and encourage a wide range of campaigns and events that invite all who follow Jesus to
- expand and support their gospel witness
- grow the service networks they have seeded
- share their spirituality, charisms, and community
- encourage young women to consider a vocation to religious life
- support their pastoral, teaching and prophetic works
- and focus on the new world they call into being
We thank our Sisters for saying yes to religious life and their devotion to the transformation of persons through education.
We encourage those who might be feeling the call to reach out to us (sisters@ssnd.org).
