General Announcements
Nuns on the Bus to host town hall meeting at St. Thomas Aquinas Parish in Indianapolis
Nuns on the Bus, an outreach of Network, a Washington, D.C.-based Catholic social justice lobby group, will conduct a town hall meeting at St. Thomas Aquinas Parish, 4610 N. Illinois St., in Indianapolis, at 7 p.m. on Sept. 18.
Network is composed of religious women from several different communities. Since 2012, a group of the Network sisters have travelled around the country on a bus and held town hall meetings, seeking to learn more about the needs of those on the margins of society.
This year’s tour is titled “Vote With the Pope.” At the completion of their tour, the sisters will present Network with specific proposals for Congress in light of what they learned from their tour, and what Pope Francis says about issues of social and economic justice in his address to Congress later this month.
The event is free. All are welcome to attend.
For more information on Network and the Nuns on the Bus program, log on to www.networklobby.org.

Recently, she has spent time in Nepal, northern Iraq, Gaza, the Central Africa Republic and eastern Ukraine.

She is associate director of the degree program for the Institute for Black Catholic Studies at Xavier University of Louisiana, and is currently working on a history of black conversion to Roman Catholicism in the 20th century.
