On Monday, June 17, Sister Ann Oestreich, IHM, spoke on how women religious are working on human trafficking, from Rome to the U.S., through two sister-lead organizations: U.S. Catholic Sisters Against Human Trafficking and Talitha Kum. The Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi are members of the U.S. Catholic Sisters Against Human Trafficking.

Sisters, invited guests, family members, and associates gathered on Sunday, June 9th to celebrate and give thanks as we installed members of our administrative team.
The 9 a.m. Mass with sisters from Clare Circle and Elizabeth Hall, set the tone for the day. The 2 p.m. liturgy and formal installation was equally prayerful. Many thanks to Sisters Marcia and Sylvia Ann for all their hard work and dedication these last few years, and wish Sisters KD and Ellen, along with Sister Diana, many blessings as they take on the challenges of their roles! Congratulations to Cardinal Cushing Centers for hosting a wonderful Springtime Gala! More than $675,000 was raised for the organization, which works to support people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Our own Sr. Helene was a special guest presenter as well!
