Eco-Challenge: Unsubscribe from junk mail
Altogether, all the promotional mail we get in our email inboxes and our physical mailboxes has a huge carbon footprint. Here are some tips for unsubscribing.
Report from the U.S./Mexico border
I am grateful for the opportunity during the month of September to be in the presence of hundreds of migrants every day while volunteering with the Kino Border Initiative. I was with four other sisters in a project called Catholic Sisters Walking with Migrants.
Eco-Challenge: Wrap responsibly
As eco-conscious earth citizens, we can do better in so many creative ways when it comes to gift wrapping. Consider these sustainable alternatives that can make gifts just as beautiful.
Border Compassion: The Bridge to Compassionate Encounters
I recently had the opportunity to visit the Posada del Migrante Shelter in Mexicali, Mexico. This shelter provides a home for up to 300 migrants, many of whom have fled their countries due to threats of violence and are seeking asylum in the United States.
Nine days of prayer for a more inclusive church
Our congregation will be praying this nine-part Womanly Novena over the nine days leading up to the start of the synod on October 4.
Eco-Challenge: Reduce, reuse, recycle food waste
Our September Eco-Challenge is all about eliminating food waste. We are examining our habits related to planning meals, purchasing food and consuming leftovers.
Sisters Rising Worldwide
There are resources enough to take care of the world’s needs. Those resources just aren’t in the right places. This was the premise when Sisters Patty Johnson of St. Louis, Judy Molosky and Suzanne Jabro of Los Angeles and Irene O’Neill of St. Paul got to chatting. Together, they agreed that sisters working on the ground likely understand the root causes of the poverty around them and what’s needed to address them.
Join our sisters in advocating for a just Farm Bill
We invite you to join us in advocating to ensure the smooth passage of a just Farm Bill to feed vulnerable families here at home and around the world.
Partnerships for the Planet
As our congregation has implemented various changes to reduce our plastic consumption and carbon footprint, we’ve been building bridges throughout the congregation, within our sponsored ministries, alongside other organizations and even globally with the United Nations.
Eco-Challenge: Plastic Free July
Better than recycling, we can help by reducing our plastic consumption in the first place. Swap out some of the products that come into your home in single-use plastic packaging for more sustainable options.
