  • Read more about At-home retreat brings Scripture, spirituality to seniors

Because I had two really great great-aunts, I always enjoyed working with "the elderly" in my nursing career and thereafter. I admired their kindly wisdom and secretly envied such steady patience in the face of adversity. So I was intrigued to learn about a retired nurse's creative at-home spiritual companioning outreach to seniors.

  • Read more about Q & A with Sr. Encarnación Perez

On Feb. 8, the Vatican will join sisters around the world for an International Day of Prayer Against Human Trafficking. Sr. Encarnación Perez, a Comboni Sister from Spain who celebrated her 30th year in Kenya three weeks ago, works with sisters across all 25 dioceses in Kenya to raise awareness about trafficking. Every diocese has a sister dedicated to justice and peace work, and Perez motivates them to recognize trafficking and to try to stop it altogether.

  • Read more about Love is blind

See for Yourself - Recently I attended a lecture on the topic of inclusiveness in healthcare in the United States. Among the speaker’s points were references to immigration – that people coming to the emergency room won’t say where they live for fear of being picked up; and the speaker also referenced racial issues – that past discriminatory treatment still creates fear.

  • Read more about Bearing witness, being church: Dominican sisters in Iraq

In makeshift refugee camps where Iraqi Christians shelter in Erbil, the Dominican Sisters of St. Catherine of Siena are trying to make life work. They have become the visible church for a deeply spiritual people who have lost everything, according to Dominican Sr. Arlene Flaherty. Flaherty visited the camps last month as part of a three-woman delegation of U.S. Dominicans, evidence of a transnational relationship forged almost two decades ago in the aftermath during the Gulf War.
