October 2019

We are thrilled to announce that after several months of work, Giving Voice’s new website is live! Our website will provide an extensive internal sister-only portal with an interactive map and online directory tool to search for sisters across the US & world, a wiki-section where sisters can post and edit information to share, a “conversations” section where sisters can discuss topics close to their hearts, and an “events” section where sisters can submit local and national, live and in-person events to a collective calendar!

Giving Voice will open our office during National Vocation Awareness Week Nov 3-9 for a new event, a “Meet Our Sisters Chicago Tour.” The #2019MeetOurSisters tour is being organized in collaboration with Chicago-area members of Communicators for Women Religious, an organization of which Giving Voice both partners and collaborates.

Giving Voice Sisters who have made first or perpetual vows are invited to participate in an anonymous, 25-question survey entitled “Women Religious and the New Cosmology.”  The survey serves as an initial investigation into a research project being carried out by Laurie Brink, OP and Rhonda Miska, OP: “How does Jesus Christ function within the New Cosmology, and what are the implications of that role for Catholic Women Religious for whom a relationship with Christ is constitutive of their vocation?”
