Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth are “going to space!” Join us by committing to perform a work of mercy as a symbol of hope in the world.

On the third anniversary of Pope Francis’ solo prayer for the world in St. Peter’s Basilica during the height of the coronavirus pandemic, the Vatican announced that his prayers for healing and conversion and his messages of hope will travel around the globe, literally, in a small satellite to be launched from California in June.

“The project calls us to look outward, upward and beyond ourselves. Making a commitment to do a work of mercy on behalf of peace and hope is certainly something we can do,” said Sister Rosemary Kolich, SCL. “And participating in this mission can serve as another reminder of our call to love and care for our neighbor, to live as people of hope.”
