Join us in Prayer on Tuesday!

Pope Francis has instituted in the Catholic Church the “World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation,” which will be celebrated on September 1 beginning this year. The day offers individual believers and communities a fitting opportunity to reaffirm their personal vocation to be stewards of creation, to thank God for the wonderful handiwork which has been entrusted to our care and to implore God's help for the protection of creation as well as pardon for the sins committed against the world in which we live. We invite you to join us in prayer on this day, using the prayer service prepared by the SSND Shalom team for North America. (Shalom is the term we use to describe our SSND international network for justice, peace, and integrity of creation.)

Sisters show up in the most interesting places!

Did you know that a sister was recognized by President Obama at the announcement of his clean power plan? LCWR executive director Sister Joan Marie Steadman, CSC was present for the occasion because of the help she provided in getting sisters across the country to push for solutions to climate change. You can read more about the event and Sister Joan Marie's involvement here on the LCWR page. Neat!
