Our World Union of Catholic Women’s Organizations, a union representing eight million of our Catholic sisters with representation at important world bodies and Vatican recognition as the only Public International Association of the Faithful made up of women, provides us an important platform today on 2021 WUCWO Day and every day to unite our efforts to pray, educate, advocate, and act for our sisters around the world who suffer from prejudice and violence.

This work remains true to our mission and echoes all the good that WUCWO has promoted over the last 111 years. Today, we meet to pray and so let us now join our voices as we ask God to hear our petitions for those sisters who suffer throughout our world.
