Let us unite in solidarity with the LCWR for nunjustice! Will the LCWR go along with the hostile Vatican take-over, declare independence, or do something else?

This August 7th-11th, 800 members of the Leadership Conference for Women Religious will be

holding their important annual conference in downtown St. Louis at The Millennium Hotel.

Discerning their response to the Congregation of the Doctrines of the Faith’s charges. The board

recognizes this matter has deeply touched Catholics and non-Catholics throughout the world.

It believes that the matters of faith and justice that capture the hearts of Catholic sisters are

clearly shared by many people around the world.

A group of concerned Catholics are organizing several welcoming activities while the sisters are

in town. Each activity is planned to reflect gratitude for, support of and solidarity with the sisters

for their works of charity and witness.

Respecting the sisters need for a prayerful atmosphere we will hold all activities off the

Millennium property.
