S. Louise Akers was featured and pictured in Call to Action’s (CTA) 2007 Annual Report concerning her anti-racism work. The article said S. Louise’s visiting professorship at Xavier University (Cincinnati) “has allowed her to develop courses with reflection and analysis of racism, attract many people of color as speakers, and facilitate honest exchange between white students and students of color.” SC Ministry Foundation also was mentioned in the article as it has agreed to give CTA-USA a 2008 grant to fund pilot programs of anti-racism training in four CTA regional chapters. S. Louise also co-wrote the article “The Bishop of Rome at Ground Zero” for Ale’m Mar (Overseas), a Comboni Magazine in Portugal.

Sally attended the United Way’s Leaders and Legends Luncheon honoring “volunteers for their countless hours of dedication helping the United Way, the community and United Way agency and community partners.” S. Monica assisted with The Women’s Connection’s 10th annual Cabaret to benefit the neighborhood center that provides “support for change by educating, empowering and enriching women, children and families.”
