Ep. 5: Sisters on the Frontlines

September 18, 2020 • Rachel Drotar • Season 1 • Episode 5

Our fifth episode will include a conversation with Sr. Catherine Walsh, CSA. We will discuss her work with the Catholic Worker in Akron, Ohio and the ways she is using funding from the Sisters on the Frontline initiative, in which we funded 61 sisters with $1,000 for ministries struggling during COVID-19. We will discuss this initiative, it’s impact on her ministry, and the ways the needs of those served by the Catholic Worker have changed.
