As Laudato Si Week concluded on May 25, a new project focused on religious communities was launched- the Creation Care Prayer Network! This project is a world-wide effort of the Catholic Church to unite religious and lay communities who will commit to pray for the healing of our common home. Major sponsors include:- Global Catholic Climate Movement
- Franciscan Friars Generalate
- International Union of Superiors General.
Our congregation has joined the Creation Care Prayer Network as a means of living up to our Chapter Direction Statement in two ways: “to be in solidarity with those who suffer” and to make “intentional choices to steward the gift of creation and respond to the threat of climate change”. By joining the Prayer Network we are giving public witness to our commitment, along with more than 200 congregations in over 35 countries on 5 continents.
For more information and to join the network - www.laudatosipray.orgPlease join us in praying for the following intention during the month of June:
For the sufferings of communities in our country
which have been devastated by ecological destruction,
such as wildfires and drought.

Sisters Remotely Praying Liturgy of the HoursThe Franciscan Sisters of Peace and Associates have been gathering together remotely each evening (Monday through Friday) at 7 pm ET to pray Evening Prayer. We are doing this to encourage one another and to pray for those who are currently ill with the Coronavirus, for those who have died and their families, and for our first responders. We find this an excellent way to stay connected amid these “lockdown” times. Let us continue to trust in God that all will be well.
Please stay safe and stay well.
