Dear ,
We remember in our prayers the people of Pakistan. Over the weekend, a deadly flood took the lives of more than 1,500 people in the Northwest mountainous region of the country and has left more than 100,000 homeless and in need of food and shelter.
As we approach the anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6th and 9th, we pray for the end of all war and continued efforts at nuclear disarmament. See our resources at the left to mark this anniversary.
Many of you are getting ready to head back to school and begin another academic year. We hope you return well rested and we offer you some resources below to help you get started.
We have a great lineup of new resources to the left to support your ministry of faith and justice.
Peace,
Sr. Katherine Feely, SND
The Education for Justice Team
