In light of recent events in, we wanted to share a statement by the Nuns Against Gun Violence Coalition, condemning the most recent shooting in Jacksonville.

https://sistersofmercy.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/NAGV-Jacksonville-statement.pdf

As we all know, simply making statements is not enough. Within the statement is a suggestion for advocacy at the national level, urging immediate action to move forward legislation on an Assault Weapons Ban.

Today we remember the horrific Atomic bombings of

Today we remember the horrific Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. We remember the estimated 226,000 innocent lives lost. We use this day as a reminder of the terrible effects of war, and as a platform to promote peacemaking and reconciliation.

The Sisters of Saint Joseph of Boston deplore the cruel results of the proliferation of nuclear arms, and condemn the creation of any first-strike weapon.

By the grace of God we determine to reshape instruments of death into instruments of life, to turn the mushroom cloud into a rainbow of justice and peace.
