The many gifts of volunteering
...Saint Mother Theodore’s shrine and learned about White Violet Center for Eco-Justice. Every summer I looked forward to our visit to the Woods. The bonds created are irreplaceable. I was able to hear about how some of the sisters stood up for civil rights during the 1960s and marched with Dr. Martin Luther King.

Sister Terri Boland
...I said to her that I really wanted to do something more, to be involved with the church. She invited me to a weekend in Chicago which the Sisters of Providence were sponsoring.

...community were showing that they wanted to express their feelings about what happened in Charlottesville. The instrumental possibilities were less clear on the surface. In this case, we weren’t asking for a specific decision from government, like “Vote no on SB 309” or “Remove X statue.” But, we saw that this could bring us closer to our goals of a peaceful and just community in several ways.
