Nuns Against Gun Violence News
September 11, 2025
Nuns Against Gun Violence (NAGV) is a coalition of Catholic Sisters and allies for gun violence prevention. They meet monthly on the first Thursday of the month, at 12:00 pm CT. These meetings are open for all to join.
At the August 8 meeting, a prayer remembering the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were shared, as well as a prayer for those lost to gun violence in the past month. This is a moving, reflective space that shows photos and names of the deceased. You can watch the recording of the prayer on their YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/ff2C-eIqiuE
If anyone has other prayers that they would like to be shared on the prayer page on the NAGV website, please send them to Kim Westerman at communications@csjcarondelet.org. You can access NAGV prayers at https://nunsagainstgunviolence.org/prayer.
Each month, following the opening prayers, a coalition meeting is held and updates are shared. One new development is that the Sisters of the Precious Blood have offered to be the fiscal agent for Nuns Against Gun Violence (NAGV) and the website will now include a section for making donations to NAGV and all are grateful to the Sisters of the Precious Blood for this partnership.
A recorded webinar called, “Making Connections, Building Hope: Gun Violence Prevention in Missouri” was shared and if you are interested in organizing a webinar in your state, please contact Jennifer at jkryszak@clintonfranciscans.com.
