the Beauty
Upholding the beauty of women’s religious life helps every one of us remember who we are as the Bride of Christ.
Consider how you can uphold the beauty of women’s religious life through your particular gifts and talents. Here’s some ideas to get you started:
Share beautiful photos of women religious for use in our media.
Share content about women religious on social media, where many sisters don’t have their own accounts.
Volunteer at a local convent.
Consider hosting an event to raise awareness of women’s religious life in the Church today.
Invite local religious sisters to your home for dinner.
