BVM Sisters

As we prepare for the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, the BVM Community has signed the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) Declaration of Commitment that will be delivered to Congress today at 12 p.m. ET (11 a.m. CST).

As bearers of hope, we pledge to live with compassion, courage, and love, remaining steadfast in our commitment to justice, human dignity, and the common good while responding faithfully to the challenges of today's world.

Let us unite in prayer for our nation and our future.
