United in Prayer Gives Witness to Sister’s Unity

What started in 2017 as a kernel of an idea when the vocation directors of three of the Northern Kentucky religious communities, the Sisters of Divine Providence, the Sisters of Notre Dame, and the Benedictine Sisters of St. Walburg, met to brainstorm about how to collaborate developed into “United in Prayer.” Sr. Cathy Bauer, OSB; Sr. Ruth Lubbers, SND; and [...]

Spring 2019 Newsletter, from the Director

Not too long ago we heard in the Scriptures the beautiful words of Isaiah: “God is always waiting to be gracious to you.” And then in the little black book that Bishop Ken Untener put out for Lent some time ago he is quoted as saying: “Keep this in mind: Religion is more about God loving us than us loving [...]

A Mosaic for Peace

Over the weekend we had another shooting at a Jewish temple and several people were killed while others were injured.   While that horrible shooting was taking place, my own community of Sisters and Associates were writing letters to our senators and representatives in Congress about gun violence.  As we were gathered for this justice action and prayer, a person armed [...]
