Franciscan Sisters of Peace

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.
