For Your Prayers

For victims of violence

Please join us in praying for the victims of the bombings in Boston. We pray for strength and healing and for an end to violence in our world.

Kneeling in spirit at your feet, dear Reverend Mother, I offer my wishes for you to the Heart of Jesus. May He bless the year that is ahead of us; may he take care of you, help you bear the burden you carry and never let me add to it by any fault of mine.

St. Rose Philippine Duchesne, in a letter to St. Madeleine Sophie Barat, 1822

Carlota Duarte, founder of the Chiapas Photography Project

If it was heritage that drew Carlota Duarte, RSCJ, to southern Mexico, it was the prospect of empowering people through art that convinced her to stay. For the last twenty years, Sister Duarte has overseen the Chiapas Photography Project, which has trained more than two hundred indigenous photographers – Mayan Indians – in creative skills that are enabling them to tell their own story, building dignity and cultural pride in Mexico’s poorest state.
