Vincentian Family: The Vincentian Family Office is pleased to share “10 Takeaways for Vincentians from Pope Leo XIV’s Magnifica Humanitas” which offers a Vincentian reading of the Holy Father’s recent encyclical, highlighting ten key themes for reflection, dialogue, and action. Rooted in Catholic Social Teaching and inspired by our Vincentian charism, the booklet explores questions surrounding human dignity, technology, the common good, justice, education, work, and the preferential option for the poor.
The material has been designed for personal reading, community formation, study groups, retreats, parish and school discussions, and other educational settings. It is intended to help us discern the challenges of our time through the eyes of the Gospel and the Vincentian tradition.

Sisters Needed for Special Project: The Office of Mission Advancement is seeking Sisters who live on the Nazareth Campus to assist with a special project. This summer, we will send thank-you letters to former donors to express our gratitude for their past generosity and invite them to continue supporting our mission. To make these letters more personal and meaningful, we are asking Sisters to sign them and include a brief handwritten note. Each Sister will be asked to sign approximately 10–15 letters, and you are welcome to use the same message for each one.
We hope you will consider sharing a small amount of your time to help us express our sincere appreciation to those who have supported the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth. If you are interested in participating, please contact Stephaine Lamar at ext. 1551 or slamar@nazareth.org by Friday, July 10. We are grateful for your willingness to support this special effort.
