The Community Leadership of the Sisters of Mercy – South Central Community issued a “Statement of Support for Those Who are Suffering in Our World” on July 12, 2010.
The statement calls for support and prayers for those suffering from natural disasters, disasters caused by the carelessness of people such as the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, social and political unrest, and lack of basic human rights. To read the complete statement, click here.
