  • Read more about Religious communities face changes, plan to retain missions and preserve history

Orders want to ensure their missions continue beyond their own existence, whether it's through turning over programs and ministries to non-profits, dioceses or churches, making them self-standing entities, or having them run by associates. As they look to the future, the Marianites of Holy Cross in New Orleans, who were founded before the U.S. Civil War, have joined in a covenant relationship with the Sisters of the Most Holy Sacrament from Lafayette.

  • Read more about Zest for life: Letting go as a contemplative community

As we were chatting at supper, School Sister of Notre Dame Barb Soete, on home-leave from Nepal, was sharing her teenage memories of camping. "My mother, Grace, said: 'If you realize you forgot something, call me and I'll tell you how to get along without it.'" I began to reflect on what "getting along without" and "letting go" means as our religious communities accept the loss of beloved friends and sisters, ministries and property.

GSR Today - During a recent visit to the provinces of Gia Lai and Kon Tum in the Central Highlands, I was introduced to some convents and a center for orphans, children with physical disabilities and those from poor families.

"Instead of telling people about God's mercy, I try to share God's love with them and share my love through deeds. You don't need to use many words; rather you speak with your heart. People's curiosity takes them wherever their hearts are willing to go."

  • Read more about Seas of plastic: Ocean pollution visualized

Three Stats and a Map - We hear often about the amount of plastic in the world's oceans, but many of us don't have a clear sense of what that looks like. However, thanks(?) to New Zealand-based data visualization firm Dumpark, we can now clearly see the extent of the damage.

  • Read more about If you're not in person, you're not real

The word "virtual" in relation to online activity has given the internet and social media a bad name when it comes to relationships. When talking about online interaction, we call it "virtual" in order to distinguish it from face-to-face interaction, which we call "real."
