In 2018, the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary are celebrating their 175th anniversary as a community. As part of this milestone, a new multimedia presentation will be shared that celebrates the good work of Sisters, Associates and ministries in multiple locations around the U.S. and Canada. The cameras follow Sisters involved in social justice work as well as students participating in community service projects. The video provides insight into the SNJM corporate stands against human trafficking, in solidarity with migrants and refugees, and in acknowledgement of water as a basic human right.
Due to limited space, the event will be by invitation to Sisters, their employees and local residents of a senior center. However, the video will be shared widely via subsequent presentations at SNJM schools and ministries in multiple locations. There are also plans to share it publicly online after the premiere.
