Each March, Catholic Sisters Week honors the women religious who dedicate their lives to faith, service, compassion, and justice. Celebrated during National Women’s History Month, this special week shines a light on the lasting impact Sisters have in our Church and in communities around the world.
This year’s theme, “Stories of Hope and Heart,” invites us to celebrate the courageous witness, joyful spirit, and compassionate service that define the lives of Sisters—past and present.
Throughout the week, we welcome you to join us for prayer, fellowship, and joyful celebration — including our featured 2nd Annual Irish Soda Bread Competition! Whether you come to reflect, connect, or share your best baking recipe, there’s something for everyone.
Come celebrate the gift of Sisters with us — we look forward to welcoming you!
