The Catholic Sisters of Kansas is a network of Catholic Women Religious whose communities have been living and serving in Kansas since 1841. Our legacy of ministry consists of serving the economically poor, the sick, the uneducated, the orphaned, the homeless, the hungry, and those who seek a closer relationship with God.

This is the legacy of religious life in Kansas. It is our goal to continue that legacy well into the future.

The Catholic Sisters of Kansas joins the Church and global community to share this prayer-first published by Future Church- for Pope Leo XIV.

Loving God, We pray today for Pope Leo XIV, called to guide our Church into a new chapter.

Give him a heart that listens deeply— to Your Spirit, to the people, to the cries of the world.

Give him the courage to speak with honesty, and the humility to lead with love.

Let him be a voice for justice, a bridge between peoples, a shepherd who walks with everyone.

Inspire him to dream big— of a Church that welcomes all, that lifts up women that protects creation and seeks peace and justice with boldness.

Keep him grounded in the Gospel and open to the winds of change You send. May he help build a Church that truly looks like Jesus— compassionate, inclusive, brave.

Holy Spirit, stay close to him. And stay close to us too, as we walk together toward the Church you’re calling us to be.
AMEN

The Catholic Sisters of Kansas Recommends the Following Synod Resource

As the church prepares for the next stage of the Synod on Synodality, the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet invite us to pray a womanly novena, each month for nine months, for a more inclusive church. Each month includes a quote from the synod document, entitled, “‘Enlarge the space of your tent’ (Is 54:2) Working Document for the Continental Stage of the Synod,” specifically paragraphs 60-65 on “Rethinking women’s participation,” a reflection and a prayer. 

The novena may be found at Womanly Novena: June – Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet (csjcarondelet.org)
