In the closing months of 2018, the Leadership Conference of Women Religious articulated to its members the need for more volunteers at the McAllen, Texas Humanitarian Respite Center sponsored by Catholic Charities. Three members of the Sisters of St. Agnes, Patricia, Julie, and Clare, accepted the call and journeyed to Texas with Ms. Jeanne Kowalski from January 13-26, 2019. Sister Patricia Weidman shared her experiences with the sisters at Nazareth Court and Center during a visit there on April 26.

Film Screening and Discussion at Marian University Stayer Center

February 06, 2019
By CSA Sisters of St. Agnes

Digitally remastered from 1300 feet of 16mm color reel film, "Decision for Happiness" is ready to be enjoyed and discussed by new audiences. Originally filmed in 1958, the movie explores the inner thoughts of a young woman making the decision to join the Sisters of St. Agnes. Since the initial filming, there have been major changes in what it means to call yourself a "Sister." The original "star" of the film, other Sisters, and Dr. Bren Murphy of Loyola University will be part of a panel discussion after the event to explore how the Sisters continue to be vibrant change-agents who seek to “stand with those whose faith life and human dignity are threatened.”

The event is free and open to the public.

Hosted by the Congregation of Sisters of St. Agnes.
