The Promoters of Social Justice, Lyn Kirkconnell and
Sister Judy Lu McDonnell, O.P. work with the sisters
and our institutions as a resource person. Through mailings,
action alerts, personal invitation, speaking at community
meetings, offering days of study and reflection, Sister
Marion keeps the sisters attuned to issues of justice. In a particular way, they focuses on the specific areas selected by the sisters for attention. Prior to the Chapter 2000 gathering, the sisters spent a year studying the issues of capital punishment, immigration, affordable housing and spirituality. Resource materials distributed and discussed by all the sisters helped the assembled delegates to select and act on one issue-- capital punishment. A corporate stance was written and voted upon by all delegates. In addition, Sour promoters work in collaboration with individuals and institutions outside our congregation. They and other sisters that work with them serve as the liaison for the congregation with local, regional and national organizations.Visit some of the following web sites to join us in collaborating with others to bring about God's reign through justice and peace in our world. Finally, our promoters lobby state and national legislators on justice issues such as non-violience, penal reform, human rights, affordable housing, environmental protection, rights of immigrants, and support for women and children.
