LCWR Grieves the Shooting in Colorado Springs
The Sisters of Charity support the following public statement issued by the Leadership Conference of Women Religious. May the coming Advent season draw us into deep reflection about the incarnational presence of God, moving with and through humans as non-violent compassion. What can we do, individually and collectively, with this power of God’s incarnational presence to extinguish the violent and troubled crevices of our collective humanity?

Abolishing the Death Penalty
Once again Sisters living at the Motherhouse participated in an action to help end the death penalty. The Sisters wrote postcards to their Ohio congressional representative and senator, which will be delivered by the Intercommunity Justice and Peace Center. We hear Pope Francis’ call to “all people of good will to mobilize for the abolition of the death penalty throughout the world.” Renewed action seems in order and overdue.
