“How can I alleviate the grief of others? Think always of others and you will not have time to think of yourself.”
-Mother Mary Joseph
In a turbulent world, stories of hope, resilience and faith encourage us/give us strength to continue to make a difference for those living in poverty and on the margins of life.
EAST TIMOR
The women in the “Creative Knitters Group,” begun by Sister Rolande Kahindo, generate income for themselves and their families by using their own knitting machines to make crocheted and embroidered scarves and clothing to sell in the markets and elsewhere.
GUATEMALA
“Project Life” in Guatemala finds Sister Dee Smith working to assist those living with AIDS with care, comfort, dignity and support. This project also empowers women to serve their poor communities. Known as community legal promoters, these women are trained to advocate for victims of violence and to support those who are HIV-positive.
MARYKNOLL CENTER
Here at our Maryknoll Center, Sisters continue their ministry of prayer for our missions, our benefactors, those who are hungry, for peace, for the environment and so many other needs.
It is your support that makes possible the needed work of Sisters Rolande, Dee and those at Maryknoll, NY. Please continue to partner with us in the work of “making God’s love visible” as we endeavor to “alleviate the grief of others.”
