  • Read more about Sisters change lives for waste pickers of central India

The third part of our series about trash management, landfills and the involvement of sisters: It is mostly women who eke out a living by sorting and reselling scrap materials from India's streets and landfills. The Jan Vikas Society labors among 10,000 people living in 35 of the 559 officially recognized shantytowns of Indore and was started by Divine Word Fr. George Payattikattu in 2001. He later included women religious in the work to elevate the waste pickers' confidence, skills and literacy, which has resulted in higher earnings and other improvements.

Internalized patriarchal values contribute to how women religious are treated in India, where activists are working to draw attention to the need for formal practices to handle clergy abuse of women religious, which ranges from withholding sacraments, to using nuns as domestic laborers, to taking over their institutions and to sexual abuse.

  • Read more about Orlando faces in the sanctuary: Sacred wounds and the communal body

This past Sunday, my body tuned into a communal woundedness. It was as if, in a way, I could feel in my bones an echo of the laceration that had been inflicted upon my brothers and sisters during the massacre in Orlando a week prior.

The Sisters of the Holy Family have been serving in New Orleans since 1842, founded by Henriette Delille, a free black woman, during a time when the Catholic church was reluctant to extend religious life to non-whites.
