Communications Sharing our ministries and stories is one of the hundreds of ways in which Medical Mission Sisters around the world try to be a healing presence to those in need today. In an international Community like ours that is spread across 19 countries, we rely on our Society communications to inform and connect us. We share our lives and work with each other through district newsletters and reports, email, and the Internet. English is
our common language.
"Society communications help us to be global citizens. They help us to come to know some of the heartaches and joys in the lives of our Sisters all over the world. Communications is basically about building bridges and nourishing relationships … I am convinced that it is sacred work. This belief fuels my commitment to the task of communications as a ministry of service," shares Sister Eunice Cudzewicz, who has served as Communications Coordinator for our worldwide Community for 13 years. Several times a year, Sister Eunice publishes Intercontinent, a booklet with reflections from our Sisters about specific themes. She also publishes reports from meetings of our worldwide coordinators, and from districts around the globe.
"When we write our stories, we share our accomplishments, tell about disasters, report injustice, describe our movement in mission, and document our reality," she explains. "This gives us a powerful capacity to connect with one another across great distances, to form bonds of community, to be in solidarity." "In addition to networking with others, our own system of interconnection gives us the opportunity to connect local issues of injustice to global agendas," she adds. "We can use our communications to promote peace, understanding, multiculturalism, and cooperation." "If our vision of the whole is to take root in our hearts, concerns, and prayers, we need to know about our members and their lives in mission, claim that mission as our own, and nurture the spiritual bonds of sisterhood."
