In championing our steadfast dedication to serve the marginalized and oppressed, we have made the bold decision to increase our 2025 Ministry Grants program in honor of our 50th Anniversary.

Submit the above online form to apply for a 2025 Ministry Grant. Applications must be received by Monday, June 30, 2025. Grant recipients will be notified in July 2025.

For our theme for this year we chose the following:
The Lord is faithful in all God’s words. (Psalm 145:13)

As Sisters of the Living Word we are called to be witnesses to Christ alive in our world, in each other, and in all creation. As you may have heard from earlier announcements, the Sisters of the Living Word are celebrating our 50th anniversary this year. One of the goals of this year is to spend a bit of time renewing our connection with one another and with the charism and mission of the SLW.

We have collected a series of writings from our Foundress Sister Annamarie Cook’s Speak Lord for reflection. Our hope is that her writings may promote a deeper understanding and connection with Sister Annamarie, the charism and vision of the Sisters of the Living Word, and with the wider world.

Sister John Boegeman passed on to eternal joy with our Loving God on February 13, 2025 at the age of 94.

Recently Sister Chioma was invited to speak at a vocation podcast by the Chicago Archdiocesan Vocation office, “Dare to Love.” For the podcast she was interviewed by Sister Lovina Pammit, OSF and Father Adam McDonald.

Recently Sister Chioma represented CTU at the National Religious Vocation Conference (NRVC) Convocation in Minnesota. She also went on a pilgrimage a reservation and visited sacred sites for the inidigenous tribes located there.

As women religious in the Church we are called to listen silently to the Word, and respond to it in faith and in complete openness to the Spirit. In our calling as joyful witnesses and bearers of the Word, we attempt to penetrate the darkness with the light of Christ, to nurture the Christ life within others, and to make a home for the Word in the hearts of the oppressed. (Constitution of the Sisters of the Living Word, Spirituality, p vi)

“Lord, make us turn to you; let us see your face and we shall be saved.”

REJOICE! The word of the day!
