“We
are Presentation women who share the charism of our foundress, Nano
Nagle.
We reach out in faith, in a spirit of hospitality,
compassion and simplicity
to all of creation. The cry of those made poor
and the cry of the Earth
call us to continue the mission of Jesus to
bring forth a sustainable society
founded on respect for earth, universal
human rights,
economic justice and a culture of peace.”
(IPA identity
statement)
The
Conference of Presentation Sisters Statement on Immigration
Presentation
sisters and associates of North America stand in support of immigrants,
migrants
and refugees
in a spirit of hospitality and compassion.
In solidarity with women
religious and Catholic Bishops throughout North
America, we “promote legislation that
includes family reunification;
a path to earned legalization; worker protections and
an effective border
policy that is humane rather than punitive.”
(LCWR, USCCB) August
16, 2006
