Innovation. Impact. Compassion.
Religious sisters are prophetic witnesses and voices of hope in our country and world. They are close to those who are in need and they are trusted by people of all walks of life.
That is why Sisters on the Frontlines was launched during the pandemic. This initiative, which operated from the summer of 2020 to spring 2021, met the exceptional goal of providing 1,000 Catholic sisters with $1,000 each. Each sister used the funds to help an individual or family suffering extremely adverse affects due to the pandemic.
Sisters on the Frontlines was formed by an alliance of organizations interested in responding to the immediate needs of communities impacted by COVID-19.
The alliance included Catholic Extension Society, Congregation of St. Joseph, Conrad N. Hilton Fund for Sisters, FADICA, GHR Foundation, Raskob Foundation for Catholic Activities, Sisters of Charity Foundation of Cleveland, and the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas.
Those interested in continuing to support the ministry of Catholic sisters can donate to Catholic Extension Society, which works in solidarity with people in America’s poorest regions to build up vibrant and transformative Catholic faith communities.
