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 Catholics and all people of good will around the world in mourning the death of Pope Francis, a shepherd who led with compassion, humility, and a deep commitment to the Gospel of justice and mercy. We remember and honor his life, his vision, and his faithful witness to a Church alive in the world, engaged in the work of justice, and rooted in love. We are thankful for his life witnessing hope, an inclusive vision of humankind, his loving concern for the poor and marginalized, and his passionate care for all of creation.
We join in prayer for those who are tasked with listening attentively to the Holy Spirit as they choose the Bishop of Rome who will guide the church through challenging years ahead.
May Pope Francis and all the faithful departed rest in peace. Amen
World Day of Consecrated Life
The World Day for Consecrated Life will be celebrated in the Church and in parishes over the weekend of February 1-2, 2025. Please pray for all those who have made commitments in the consecrated life and be sure to thank them on their special day. May they continue to be inspired by Jesus Christ and respond generously to God’s gift of their vocation. The official opening of the Jubilee Year was on December 2024 when Pope Francis presided in the rite of Opening of the Holy Door of the Basilica of St. Peter in Rome. The Jubilee of Consecrated Life will be celebrated in Rome on October 8-12, 2025. Read More
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)
