Statement of Inter-American Committee of Religious Gathered in Washington, DC
We come forth as the conferences of the approximately 250,000 Catholic men and women vowed religious sisters, brothers, and priests of the Americas gathered here in Washington, DC, for the annual meeting of the Confederation of Latin American Religious, the Canadian Conference of Religious, the U.S. Leadership Conference of Women Religious, and the U.S. Conference of Major Superiors of Men's Institutes of the Religious Life. We are profoundly shaken by the events in Haiti in recent weeks and especially over these days.
