This day has special significance for Holy Union Sisters. In 2018 all the areas of the Congregation told the General Council that they wanted to address a justice issue that affected women and children and do this as a congregation. The General Council chose “Access to Clean Water” and invited all the sisters to work toward this goal.

Throughout their religious lives, Holy Union Sisters have prayed Psalm 90, and as we age, the phrase, “seventy is the sum of our years, or eighty if we are strong”, takes on new meaning.

Sr. Josephine Nko Ndindi from Cameroon has written an article for Global Sisters Report, an American Catholic publication.
