The Ministry
Grant Review Committee would like to thank all the SLW who participated
in some way in this process. We feel that, again, the purpose of this
grant is alive and well:
To expand the Mission of the Sisters of the Living Word
To witness a corporate solidarity with people
who are materially poor, marginalized or oppressed
To promote ministries and SLW involvement in
social concerns and justice and peace issues.
