Today, June 25, 2026, the leadership of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) delivered the Declaration of Commitment to every member of the United States Congress.
In their cover letter to our elected officials, the LCWR Presidents and Executive Director shared that the Declaration is the result of “prayer, dialogue and discernment to consider how best to exercise our moral responsibility on behalf of those most in need at this critical moment in our nation’s history.”
With our LCWR leadership, we encourage all to reflect on this document as a vision of hope for the future as we prepare to celebrate 250 years of government “of the people, by the people and for the people.” We invite you to read the Declaration of Commitment and join us in praying for wisdom, courage, and a renewed commitment to building a more just and compassionate society.
