Fifty-two weeks a year women religious stand with the poor and immigrants, teach children, fight injustice, heal the sick, share spirituality, empower women, defend the planet, promote peace, create community, offer hope …

But for one week, March 8-14, we shine the spotlight on our sisters who give their lives for the life of the world by

• witnessing to the Gospel
• building networks of service
• sharing their lives in community
• encouraging young women to consider a vocation to religious life
• supporting the pastoral needs of those they serve
• Calling a new world into being.

As we kick off  the 2025 Catholic Sisters Week, we will share the inspiring stories of four of our sisters who gave--or are giving--their lives for the life of the world in courageous, bold, and transformative ways.

We encourage others to be #LikeaCatholicSister too!

We hope these stories will challenge outdated stereotypes, shift perceptions of religious life and showcase some of the diverse, dynamic, and impactful ways Sisters serve today.
