Sisters Week March 8-14

Organizers of National Catholic Sisters Week hope to bring together sisters and young women at an event at St. Catherine University in Minneapolis, Minnesota and in events sponsored by communities around the country.

National Catholic Sisters Week (NCSW) organizers are encouraging religious communities to celebrate this event locally and to urge their affiliated parishes, schools, colleges, and sponsored ministries to also mark the occasion by bringing together young people and sisters.

A  weekend called “discern. Conference” will take place at St. Catherine University, St. Paul, Minnesota, March 6-8. Fifty pairs consisting of a sister and a college student can attend. The focus of the conference is on helping young women to discern life choices.

NRVC's Sister Debbie Borneman, SS.C.M. will be giving a presentation on discernment on March 7.

On-site costs are covered; attendees must pay travel. For information about the conference, see nationalcatholicsisters.org.

A toolkit with resources and information for organizing an event is available online.
