WATER hosted the DC Loretto Volunteers on their annual “Take Your Housemate to Work Day.” We were the first stop as they visited their various placement sites. The group shared information about WATER as well as Cathy’s birthday cake!

Happy 30th Anniversary, Women-Church Convergence!

“Over the last 30 years Women-Church Convergence has worked to change unjust practices and structures within Church and Society. W-CC is a place where divergent Catholic feminist views can be brought to the table and all can be heard. We support each other with courage, laughter, and blessings in this work.” – Donna Quinn

Nancy Sylvester, IHM, Founder and President of the Institute for Communal Contemplation and Dialogue (ICCD) which began in 2002.

In Memory of Her

You can remember or honor someone special or an occasion by giving a donation in their name to WATER’s In Memory of Her Fund. You are invited to send your donation with a check and an accompanying note, or donate on our website via PayPal and send us an email to waterstaff@hers.com honoring your loved one.

Where does “in memory of her” come from? According to Mark (14:9), Jesus said of the faithful woman who anointed him “and truly I say to you, wherever the gospel is preached in the whole world, what she has done will be told in memory of her.” Church history has since conveniently forgotten her name. In Memory of Her honors people from all religious or non-religious traditions.
