KANSAS CITY, Mo., Feb. 23, 2023 /Christian
Newswire/ -- Catholic sisters are ministering in war-torn and troubled areas
around the world, aiding refugees, counseling trauma victims, ministering to the
sick and injured, teaching children, continuing religious education and
providing pastoral care. They serve as symbols of hope with their own resilience
and faith.
Global Sisters Report (GSR), a project of the National Catholic Reporter
Publishing Company that gives a greater voice to Catholic sisters around the
globe, debuts Hope Amid Turmoil: Sisters in Conflict Areas. You can
view the
feature series here.
Hope Amid Turmoil: Sisters in Conflict Areas launches with a news story
and extensive photo package from Ukraine on Feb. 23, the day before the one-year
anniversary of Russia's invasion.
Throughout this year, Hope Amid Turmoil will feature reported stories
and sister-written columns from conflict areas such as northern Nigeria, South
Sudan, and Nicaragua; regions that serve as refuge for thousands, such as
northern Kenya; and countries striving to recover from years of conflict, such
as Sri Lanka.
"We are excited to debut this special series. Sisters are on the front lines in
conflict areas throughout the world, and too often, their stories go untold,"
said Gail DeGeorge, editor of GSR. "These sisters bravely care for the most
vulnerable, and through Hope Amid Turmoil, we're shining a light on
their service and devotion to God's call."
Global Sisters Report is an independent, nonprofit source of
news and information about Catholic sisters and the critical issues facing the
people they serve. Our network of journalists write about their missions and
ministries, and sisters contribute columns on a variety of topics, including
spirituality and religious life.
