Show Your Support of U.S. Catholic Sisters

by Sister Julie on October 20, 2009

Amidst all the discussion on and reality of the Apostolic Visitation of U.S. Catholic Sisters and of the doctrinal assessment, there are some really cool things out there that affirm the beauty and adventure of religious life and the women who living this life here in the United States. Here are a couple of examples:

  • Women and Spirit: Catholic Sisters in America – “a traveling exhibit sponsored by the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) in association with Cincinnati Museum Center. It reveals the mystery behind a small group of innovative American women who helped shape the nation’s social and cultural landscape.”
  • Thank You, Sister – a letter-writing campaign by “those of us who have been served by or served with women religious to stand in support and express our gratitude for these women who have given us so much.”

A Nun’s Life Ministry is in full support of Catholic sisters and nuns. Our ministry is devoted to connecting with people, to helping folks discern their vocation, and to presenting accurate and authentic information and images of Catholic sisters and nuns in today’s world.

ButtonSister Maxine and I were recently at a Catholic conference in Chicago and gave out “I support Sisters and Nuns” buttons. We still have some left and are offering them now for a small donation of $3 a piece. Donations above and beyond that goes 100% into our ministry. Our goal is to get these buttons circulating across the country and beyond. Supplies are limited but if we have any $ left over, we’ll print another round.

How do you get your button? Send us your name and address, # of buttons, and donation via PayPal with a click of the donate button. It’s not necessary to have a PayPal account to use PayPal. There’s an option to donate via credit card or bank account. (Sorry in advance for the huge donate link … can’t seem to get it any smaller):


Thanks in advance for your support of Catholic Sisters and Nuns.

Can we have the html for your button? I’m more than happy to post it on my blog as a gesture of solidarity.

I praise God for Sisters. Dominican Sisters of Houston educated me and taught me character and morals and values in life. Based on family situation I should have been written off, but becasue of these women of faith my life was written in the Lambs book of life!!!!
Today I’m blessed beyond words and I’m able to bless others. This year I lost Sr. Emerita 95 years young!!!who was my second mother who taught me faith hope and love!!! We all need to support sisters and nuns wearing a habit or not, its the love in the heart and the work of the hands that make a woman a sister or a nun!
