Leadership Team shares LCWR statement on abuse of Catholic Sisters by clergy

Published on February 8, 2019

…and its long-range devastating effects on the lives of survivors. We acknowledge that, as sisters, we did not always provide environments that encouraged our members to come forward and report their experiences to proper authorities.

While the world seemingly stands still, it has been reassuring to watch the life cycles of the farm continue to spin on. Winter still turned into spring, which still turned to summer, and will turn to fall soon enough.
