The Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary have been ministering in the Bay Area since 1868. As the leadership team for the Holy Names Sisters’ U.S.-Ontario Province, we ask you to share with your readers the urgent call to action issued last week by the Leadership Conference of Women Religious. We were proud to be present and to give our wholehearted support as the LCWR Assembly called on President Trump to end his use of divisive and disrespectful language, and to use his moral authority to “defend and preserve the dignity of your fellow citizens in the tireless and demanding pursuit of the common good.” We implore all Americans to work and pray for the healing of this country, and to demand the same from the president.
