WSG concludes Catholic Schools week with "Kindness Day" During the first week of February, we celebrated Catholic Schools Week. Our Catholic identity is the core of our community. We celebrate being a Catholic school all year long through special masses and daily prayer; but this week in particular, we celebrated our school community. One of the many important aspects of being a Catholic school is maintaining the fun, safe, and respectful learning environ­ment that our girls know and love. The students had an exciting week full of themed dress-up days, and ended with "Kindness Day" on Friday. The girls started the day of kindness with a prayer service followed by various activities in small groups demonstrating the positive ways in which they can respond to mistreatment. To further grasp the effects that an individual's words or actions can have on another, the girls learned about the "ripple effect". Each group was given a bucket of water; and each

UNE VAGUE DE SOLIDARITÉ INCROYABLE DE LA PART DU QUÉBEC ET DU CANADA… Le dimanche 29 janvier 2017, un attentat est survenu à la mosquée de Québec.   Âgé de 27 ans, un étudiant québécois en sciences politiques, à l’Université Laval, a fait six victimes et cinq blessés musulmans.   Cette tragédie humaine a causé tout un émoi dans la ville de Québec et dans tout le pays.   Le Québec et le Canada rejettent en bloc cet acte terroriste :    « UN ACTE DE VIOLENCE QUE NOUS REJETONS TOUS ».   Un mouvement de SOLIDARITÉ et de COMPASSION a surgi à la suite d’une telle violence.   On demeure une terre d’accueil, un pays pacifique et un lieu où l’on respecte les droits humains. Pendant toute une semaine, les medias ont couvert plusieurs événements : marche dans la ville de Québec avec nos dirigeants politiques du Québec et du Canada, célébration eucharistique à l’église Notre-Dame-de-Foy, funérailles

Sisters in the Washington, DC/Maryland area have focused on the 2 nd Chapter Priority, Looking on our World Through the Eyes of Claudine, and Responding to its Miseries. Our Provincial Chapter saw that one of the needs in our midst was the plight of refugees, and called us to reach out to them.  Our region, which includes the nation’s capital, has received many immigrants fleeing poverty or persecution. RJM are connected with three groups: The Interfaith Round Table was established by a non-profit organization, Human Rights First, which works with asylum seekers, i.e., persons fleeing persecution.  Through this organization, we have helped a family of four from El Salvador with housing, “adopted” another family at Christmastime by providing gifts, and contributed to a winter clothing drive. The latest initiative of the Human Rights First group is sponsoring workshops that inform underrepresented families of their rights and connects them to legal services. In the present political cli
