Description
As women religious, we have taken to heart the urgent invitation to become anti-racist. We have recognized that the definition of “neighbor” extends beyond our borders, and so we welcome the immigrant and exiled. And we strive to heed the clarion call of Laudato Si’ to care for our common home. While we look out, we sometimes forget to look within. Our religious congregations are more and more reflecting the diversity of our church and world. Recognizing and respecting the generational, ecclesial, racial, and cultural differences found in our membership is the first step toward the emerging future of religious life.
