Access to Clean Water
In May 2020 the General Council implemented a mandate from our 2017 Collegial Assembly “to live the urgent call of Laudato Si’,” which initiated a corporate response to address the 6th Goal of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Access to Clean Water. Sisters from all areas were invited to form an international committee and through the committee to engage all members in this initiative. The goal was a corporate action that would include: Advocacy - education – networking – providing water – conserving water
