Guest: Sr. Virginia Jennings, Sisters of St. Francis
Buffalo Road Roundup: Miranda Taiber
Featured Saint of the Day: St. Paul the Hermit
Today Deacon Rick and Jenny spoke with Sister Virginia Jennings of the Sisters of St. Francis. The Sisters of St. Francis started the Sister Water Project. St. Theresa's Catholic School is having a Social Justice week focusing on Care of God's Creation in particular Water. Students and their families as well as parishioners are participating in the H2O challenge, where they only drink water for the week and donate the money they would have spent on other beverages toward a common end. The beneficiary of this week will be the Sister Water Project.
The Sister Water Project was started four years ago as a response to the needs in the world. Through research, the Sisters of St. Francis tapped into many of the issues surrounding water. They chose to focus on the countries of Honduras and Tanzania. Through the financial support of the people of God they have been able to build wells and provide Simtanks in these countries for three years.
