REMINDERS
Click and See Zoom Sessions: The Office of Charity Connections is launching an exciting new venture: Click and See!
Click and See is an online version of the Come and See program, a time to learn about religious life and connect with women religious. Via Zoom, we will meet monthly with young women interested in religious life. Each meeting will cover a topic related to religious life, with different Sisters leading the conversation.
Click and See will be advertised in Vocation publications and in Catholic media in the United States and Belize. As an online program, we hope to attract women from different locations and diverse backgrounds.
We need your help! If you know of someone from your ministry, family, church, or other organization who might be interested, please reach out to them and invite them to attend a session. Alternatively, you can share their name with the Office of Charity Connections, and we will contact them.
We ask for your prayers for a successful endeavor! Learn more here.
Recycled Greeting Cards: SCNs Paschal Fernicola, Betty Vannucci, and Sarah Ferriell, are making recyclable greeting cards for donations to support missions in India. The Sisters need unused, clean envelopes of various sizes. If you have any to spare, please send any donations to the Sister Services Department at Nazareth. Thank you for supporting their ministry.
