On Tuesday, January 28, 2025, LCWR (the Leadership Conference of Women Religious), posted a letter, “A Response from the LCWR to These Times,” in which they expressed their concerns and values. We, the Ursuline Sisters of Mount Saint Joseph, support the stance of LCWR and share their concerns and values reflected below:
- The belief in the inherent right to life of all human beings and the dignity of each life
- The commitment to the Gospel demands of love, welcome, and care for all people, especially those who are most vulnerable
- The duty to welcome immigrants and provide care and aid to all in our land, while insisting on comprehensive immigration reform
- The responsibility to stand against violence in all its forms
- The commitment to dismantle systemic racism
- The belief that care of our planet Earth requires our attention and action
- Respect for the journey of all persons into the wholeness of their humanness
- The work to alleviate poverty in all forms.
You can find the letter in its entirety below with a link to the LCWR home page, www.lcwr.org. We urge you to join us in our call to be people of hope and live this call for the sake of the world and its future.
