Pray With Us
On February 8th, the SSNDs will join with people worldwide to pray for an end to human trafficking. You can participate in this online event here.
This prayer to St. Josephine Bakhita is dedicated to Sr. Jean McLoughlin, who passed away in 2021. She was a member of the SSND Trafficking committee for many years and also volunteered at a survivor trafficking shelter in the area where she lived.
Take time during this month to be aware of the sights and sounds and smells and tastes of this splendid universal communion. Ecological conversion begins with such awareness, and ongoing awareness takes us deeper into the mystery of the Incarnation. Emmanuel, God with us.
