Notes from the Field - I am in my second month of post-graduate service with Good Shepherd Volunteers and work full-time in New York City at Marian Hall, a group residence for teenage girls who cannot live at home for various reasons, including abuse or neglect. 

Margaret Alsup of Cumming always considered her nun dolls to be like friends; so when it came time to look for a permanent home for her beloved figurines in late 2017, she found a place that would help preserve the historical legacy of the women religious these replicas represent.

Sr. Mary McCabe is not one to say: "Been there, done that." The Sister of Notre Dame de Namur has spent most of the past 40 years helping women in rural farming communities in northern Brazil. And in the past year and a half since she has been back in the U.S., she has been teaching English classes in Baltimore.

According to an Oct. 11 report from the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry, children suffered physical and sexual abuse at the hands of nuns, priests and staffers at orphanages run by the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul. The abuse took place over decades, resulting in frequent deaths.

Contemplate This - Even in the face of such an alarming forecast based on factual data, there are still people who do not accept the reality of climate change. We must acknowledge that we are in service to the future generations of all species and to the planet. These realizations do not come from data alone.
