What Sisters Are Doing
Over 60 people attended a Lenten environmental program and prayer service "Walking Lightly on Earth: Healing Damage Done," on March 10 at the Franciscan Sisters of Our Lady of Perpetual Help headquarters in St. Louis. This was the third in a series of public events sponsored by the Sisters to promote Care for Earth and to enlist collaboration with other to work for systemic change on environmental issues. The presenters for this program were three of our Sisters. Sister Cheryl Kemner spoke about air pollution and what we can do to "heal" the problems. Sister Joann Nowak spoke about water issues. Sister Connie Probst covered land and animals.
