Pray. Act. Be the Change.

" We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him…We need not wait to see what others do." ~ Mahatma Gandhi

These words written by Mahatma Gandhi have inspired many bumper stickers, memes and posters with the call to action: "Be the change you wish to see in the world."  For more than a century, Catholic Sisters have worked to bring about a more peaceful, just and compassionate world. You are invited to join us as we continue to "Pray. Act.. Be the Change."   Through sharing our stories, we hope to inspire and provide resources for you to "be the change you wish to see in the world." A new Catholic Sister story will be posted here every few days, with more stories available on our "Catholic Sisters in Action" page.

“Pray. Act. Be the Change” is a collaborative project of the the Catholic Sisters Leadership Council (CSLC), and made possible through funding from a $1,000 National Catholic Sisters Week mini-grant and donated space from Lamar Advertising in 2018. The project’s intent is to inspire others through increasing the visibility of Catholic Sisters as they continue to serve as leaders, collaborators and advocates for peace, justice and care for creation.
