Sisters of the Living Word
Biography
The Sisters of the Living Word are a community of 50+ vowed women religious focused on reflecting and affirming the Living Word of God in situations where the Word needs to be spoken and reflected. We especially minister to those who are oppressed in various ways, bringing new life. Responding to urgent needs of our times we serve in education, pastoral and parish ministries, healing ministries, spiritual care and faith development, and social service ministries. We likewise devote energy to advocacy for immigrants and refugees, the homeless, victims of human trafficking and the care of the earth. Our congregation was founded in 1975, as a diocesan congregation in the Archdiocese of Chicago, with Sister Annamarie Cook named as Foundress. We currently live and minister in the Midwest and South (Illinois, Louisiana, Minnesota, Florida, and Missouri). Your investment in the Sisters of the Living Word sustain our ministries, care for our elderly sisters, and continue our mission in works of justice and peace.
