Challenges and Gifts of Intercultural Living

by Jayne Helmlinger, CSJ -- LCWR President

You Will Have Light for Your First Steps -- LCWR 2020 Reflection Book

$6.00

The Intersection of Migration and Climate Crisis

by Durstyne Farnan, OP

For the last three years I’ve been ministering with the School Sisters of St. Francis in Milwaukee, WI.  When I began the sisters were just completing their negotiations with Lutheran Social Services to house refugees.  Three years later the sisters have had four families living in the duplex known as the “Refugee Home.”
