  • Read more about Sisters offer shelter in Tijuana for women and children escaping violence

These days, Sr. Adelia Contini sees more Mexicans fleeing north toward the U.S. than she does families from Honduras, El Salvador and other violence-plagued regions of Central America. "We're seeing a lot of people from Michoacan and Guerrero," said Contini, 70, director of Instituto Madre Assunta, a shelter for migrant women and children in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico, operated by nuns with the order of Missionnaires de San Carlos Borromeo Scalabrinians.

  • Read more about God looks out for us, no matter the vocation

GSR Today - I had the distinct pleasure of spending an evening with the Adrian Dominicans last week, and, as always happens when I spend time with Catholic sisters, I found myself feeling a bit jealous on the drive home.

  • Read more about I am Sister. I am Woman. I am me.

"Good morning, Sister!" As I walked into the break room yesterday, a recently-hired administrative assistant turned from the sink and greeted me with those words. Since I met her last week, she has addressed me only as "Sister," even though I introduced myself as Tracy. I wondered if she, understandably, had forgotten my first name after meeting so many new people. Perhaps she was using the same trick that I shamelessly employ when I forget the first name of one of the many sisters in our congregational nursing facility.

  • Read more about A new perspective, an evolving consciousness

Having completed a summer of study and retreat, I had received my new assignment on St. Dominic's feast day, to teach in Kingfisher, Oklahoma. One of our council members interrupted me on my way to the bus waiting to transport a number of us to the train station. She gently informed me that I would not be taking the train to Kingfisher, but to Mobile, Alabama. I knew little or nothing about either place, and I willingly accepted this last-minute change of plans.

See for Yourself - My friend lives in a larger city plagued by its share of societal problems, so I wasn't surprised when our conversation drifted to the topic of personal safety. Her work world and social world are both impacted greatly so this matter is on her mind.
