We Holy Union Sisters hold sacred our charism of union and hear it now as an urgent call to live in solidarity, interdependence, and justice with all peoples and cultures. We advocate on behalf of women and children; we work for the integrity of creation and collaborate with others to change oppressive systems and structures. (Collegial Assembly Document 2005)

The United States Province of the Holy Union Sisters has taken a Corporate Stance against trafficking of women and children. We offer you some resources where you can learn more about modern-day slavery and take action.
