Last week the California bishops issued a statement of support to women religious in the face of the Vatican's investigation. They thanked these "women of the Gospel... for their witness to the richness and varied gifts of the Spirit."
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) will be meeting next week in Baltimore. We have a small window of opportunity to encourage Bishop Carlson to issue his own statement or to issue a collective statement with his brother bishops.
1. Call and leave a message for Archbishop Carlson- 314.633.2277 or Fax him a letter at 314 633-2333.
2. Ask him to stand with the California Bishops and make a similar statement in support of Women Religious in the United States.
3. Ask three friends to join you in this action and keep the sisters in your prayers.
4. Please contact us at CAN to let us know you called or faxed. Also let us know if you are interested in hosting or attending a house meeting to discuss what is going on with the investigation of women religious in the US and how we can stand with our Sisters.

Thank You!
Women Led Prayer is this Saturday, Nov. 14th, at 11:15 am instead of 9:00 am. Please join us at 1077 S Newstead (CTSA)
