Direction Statement
“We, the
Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth,
who love the poor,
hear a cry and feel an urgency in these times
to unite our voices and to speak out
to live and move as women of hope…
we claim our responsibility as gospel-centered women
and stand with all who suffer, who grieve, who hope.”
