Are you in the Philidelphia area? In support of Catholic Sisters Week, you are invited to join the Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia for Beating Guns: Hope for People Who are Weary of Violence:

“This year, during Catholic Sisters Week, on Monday, March 11, the Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia, in collaboration with Neumann University, Nuns Against Gun Violence, and the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas, will hold an event to combat gun violence, both in-person at Our Lady of Angels Convent, 609 S.
