In August, Sister Janet Gottschalk represented our Community at a meeting in Washington, D.C., with Archbishop Pietro Sambi, the Papal Nuncio to the U.S. She says, “We had a fascinating visit with the Nuncio, who has spent the last 30 years as a Papal diplomat in the Middle East and other Muslim countries. Consequently, he was extremely well informed about the various conflicts and stressed that the pillars of peace are Truth, Justice, Freedom and Love.” . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Friday, September 21, has been established by the United Nations as the International Day of Peace. As the website for this day states, “Peace is more than the absence of war. It is about transforming our societies and uniting our global community to work together for a more peaceful, just and sustainable world for all.” For more information, please click here.www.internationaldayofpeace.org. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Medical Mission Sisters’ annual Justice Co-Mission Meeting will take place in Tucson, Arizona, from September 27 - 30. The theme is, “Sharpening our Focus on Migration: Root Causes, Drivers, Solutions, Alternatives, Needed Advocacy.” Sisters and Associates involved in justice ministries will share up-to-date information on their justice ministries, and learn more about issues related to migration. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Sunday, September 30, is the 82nd anniversary of the founding of Medical Mission Sisters. Our Sisters and associates around the world are commemorating this special day in a variety of ways. In North America, we will celebrate with Liturgies at our Philadelphia Headquarters, at our Justice Co-Mission Meeting in Tucson, and in a number of other cities throughout the United States.
