Catholic Sisters Week began in 2015 as a part of National Women’s History Month. It is now an official component of Women’s History Month. It was authorized by Molly Murphy MacGregor, co-founder of National Women’s History Project, who was educated and deeply influenced by Catholic sisters. In 1981, Women’s History Month launched as a single week. By 1987, U.S. Congress formally expanded it to the full month of March.
We’re grateful for the joyful witness our own religious sisters provide at Saint Mary’s as educators, students, and pious role models. Please join in praying for Sr. Mary Micaela, Sr. Agnes Mary, Sr. Mary Frances, Sr. Mary Andrea, and all religious sisters.
