  • Read more about Nuns on the Bus - Days 18-21 in North Carolina

Nuns on the Bus Blog - Tuesday evening, after a Town Hall for the 100% at St. Peter's Catholic Church in Charlotte, N.C., the Nuns on the Bus went on a short break. They had spent four days in the state, which just had its restrictive voter registration laws ruled "OK" by the U.S. Supreme Court. The ruling on Wednesday overturns the Fourth Circuit Court's Oct. 1 reinstatement of same-day voter registration and out-of-precinct voting.

  • Read more about Sisters in Liberia fight Ebola

In the chaos of a developing disaster in an impoverished country, the women religious and Catholic organizations were at the forefront of organizing a response in Liberia. “We live here, we’re from here, I’ve been here for 36 years,” said Sr. Barbara Brillant of the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary. “I think that’s why people look to churches. Churches are here. You can have the best international non-governmental organization in the world, but you know they’re going to leave. We’ve used the foundation of the church to get out and mobilize and treat early. That’s the blessing we have.”

  • Read more about Into a new world, a new sense of mission

I traveled to Myanmar in June, 2014, in order to present a human rights workshop requested by my congregation, the Sisters of the Good Shepherd, as part of a desire to learn new skills and develop new visions for their ministries. My lack of knowledge was diminished by pre-reading of history and politics; other reservations kept my anxiety high until I met the sisters. The sisters in Myanmar had anxieties as well.
