Support Our Sisters

CAN is organizing to show support of Women Religious in our community and all over the world. Click vigil flyer to download a copy of our flyer to print and post or distribute. Please join us every Tuesday in May at 8pm in front of the Cathedral at 4431 Lindell Boulevard, St. Louis, MO 63108 for an hour long candlelight prayer vigil. The LCWR communities are entering into a time of prayer and discernement and we want to offer a sign of our own spiritual and physical support for them by standing together with communities across the country, letting them know that they are not alone. Please feel free to bring your own sign of support and a candle to the vigil. Spread the word and let's have a strong showing of support here in St. Louis for the amazing work and lives of women religious here and around the world!

Women Led Prayer Service

The Witness of Women Religious

May 19th at 9:00 a.m.

We typically meet for Women Led Prayer on the 3rd Saturday of the month at 9:00 am at The Center for Survivors, 1077 S. Newstead Ave., St. Louis, MO 63110. This month we will be standing with our women religious sisters and lifting up their beautiful lives, witness, and long history of incarnating the presence of Christ in our world.

If you would like to help plan the next service or lend your musical or preaching talents, please email us at can@catholicactionnetwork.org

Justice in the Body of Christ

Event Series

CAN is continuing its series on the anti-war movement and pacifism by partnering with Instead Of War in encouraging people to attend the counter-NATO summitt in Chicago, IL May 19-20th. If you are interested in attending please e-mail CAN. We will be carpooling up to Chicago and spending the night Saturday, returning on Sunday.

To prepare for the counter summitt we are holding an educational panel to inform the public about NATO and the influence and power it has around the world. Please come to the Buder Branch Public Library on May 8th at 7pm to learn more about NATO and why you should attend the counter-summitt in Chicago.

If you are interested in finding out more about Catholic Social Teaching on war, discussing the ethics of military drones, or participating in direct actions that promote peace, email us at can@catholicactionnetwork to get involved.
