Federation of Women Religious Congregations Meet To Effect Global Change
June 18, 2003 Moncton, NB — More than 80 leaders from 14 women religious congregations across North America met in Moncton June 12 -15 for their annual meeting during which they committed to actions to improve world conditions, particularly poverty and oppression.

These leaders represent more than 5,000 women religious from congregations that form the Sisters of Charity Federation in the Vincentian-Setonian tradition and in solidarity with the poor use their corporate power as a Federation for advocacy, witness and systemic change on a global level.

The Sisters de Notre-Dame-du-Sacre-Coeur hosted the Federation meeting at their motherhouse in Moncton and welcomed in as the newest Federation members the Sisters of Saint Martha of Antigonish, Nova Scotia.
