Note:

 

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.
