  • Read more about UN mining group looks at Canadian industry abuses

In one recent example of the NGO Mining Working Group's work, the body focused on Canada, whose human rights record was up for review in 2015 by the Geneva-based U.N. Human Rights Committee. The NGO Mining Working Group's main focus was on Canada's responsibility for abuses related to Canadian mining industry operations outside of Canada and the rights of indigenous people within the country, said Sr. Áine O'Connor, who coordinates the U.N. work of the Sisters of Mercy and the Mercy International Association.

  • Read more about Mining and extraction coalition at UN holds countries, companies accountable

Sustainable development goals are critical in a world of dwindling resources, where large-scale industrial mining, the extraction of minerals, metals and fuels, has deep and lasting — and often negative — effects on the communities where they operate. Catholic sisters advocate for sustainability, both on the local level and at the United Nations.

  • Read more about Lamenting privilege: A mother's lesson remembered

While racism seems to get little air time in most churches, church doctrine is crystal clear on the matter. God created human kind, female and male, in God's own image and likeness. We are all brothers and sisters, children of the same God. Each of us is granted human dignity and inalienable rights by our creator God.

  • Read more about Sisters who are also mothers bring new perspectives to religious life

The Catholic church places a high value on parenthood as a vocation. But the entrance of previously married women into religious communities also raises another possibility: more than one sacred calling. The diversities mothers bring to religious life impact community living, prayer life, decision-making, governance structures and ministries, and the stories of how these women were drawn to religious life are as diverse as the women themselves.
