More than 30 vigils planned nationwide in support of LCWR
By Alice Popovici
Vigils in support of Catholic sisters are planned in more than 30 cities as the Leadership Conference of Women Religious prepares for its annual meeting in St. Louis, Mo. Individual locations are listed here.
Here’s a statement about the vigils, released today by the Nun Justice Project, a group of organizations that support the LCWR:
Washington, DC – While the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) is meeting August 7-11 in St. Louis, MO to discern a response to the Vatican mandate, Catholics will be holding “Sister City” vigils across the country to demonstrate their support with the sisters.
The Catholic Action Network in St. Louis will be welcoming the sisters as they arrive at the airport, dubbing St. Louis a “Sister City”, and then holding two vigils in honor of the sisters while they are in town. In solidarity, Catholics will host “Sister City” vigils in their own cities from Anchorage, Alaska to Ft. Myers, Fla., during the same week to demonstrate the widespread support of the sisters.
