Sisters Still Responding to Tsunami Needs in Sri Lanka

The Sisters of the Divine Savior are an international community, with a common mission and strong bonds that cross national, tribal, and cultural boundaries. With more than 90 Sisters in Sri Lanka, India, and Malaysia, almost all with family ties in the area, the devastating tsunami touches Salvatorian lives in profound ways. And, as you will read in Sister Beatrice's reflections and letter, the Sisters, even in grief, choose to live God's saving love among the people.

It was written to the international SDS community on December 29, 2004, as the terrible tragedy unfolded. Read the most recent updates, and see the pictures the sisters have sent to us from Sri Lanka explaining the impact these gifts are making.

The Sisters of the Divine Savior are planning several "Come and See" experiences for 2005. These weekends offer participants a chance to experience community living, prayer and leisure activities, share our lives, ministries and spiritual journeys, and dialogue with women who have recently entered community and with other women considering religious life.

The weekends are designed for single Catholic women, 18-45 years of age who are considering religious life as a vocational choice. Room and board are provided. Participants are responsible for transportation to and from Milwaukee. Email your contact information to us and we'll send you registration materials as soon as they are ready!
