Two years on, impact of Catholic Sisters Walking with Migrants spreads
“One thing I love about vowed women religious, and that inspired me to join their ranks myself, is our ability to read and respond to the signs of the times when it matters.

“In recent years, when humanitarian groups receiving families in migration have been stretched and in need of reinforcements, they reached out to sisters for support. The response was generous and swift. We showed up in soup kitchens, clothing sorting rooms and shelters to support building welcome across the U.S.-Mexico border. As my inbox was filled with growing email chains of sisters’ responses, so my chest welled with hope and gratitude.”
Sister Tracey Horan, SP, was recently featured in Global Sisters Report with this piece “Two years on, impact of Catholic Sisters Walking with Migrants spreads,” which is part of the organization’s “Walking with Strangers” initiative.
