Women’s Resource Centers
Women and children throughout the world suffer from unfortuate circumstances or from the injustice of others or policies or systems. Do you see yourself addressing the needs of women – and children – in ministry? God calls us to create a more humane world where there is equality and respect for all human kind. Your gifts and skills as a religious sister can make a difference! To support the health, well-being and social needs of women, God may be asking you to make a difference as a Sister serving in ministry to help women living below the poverty level, or needing our support and affirmation to achieve a decent quality of life. Can you see yourself as a sister who makes this difference? What skills would you bring, or want to develop to answer God’s call to make this happen? Could it be in a ministry that meets pressing needs of women and children?
