The Leadership Conference of Women Religious expresses its strong support for Pope Leo as he continues to speak with clarity and conviction as a moral voice in our world. At a time when such witness is often met with resistance or opposition, we are deeply inspired by his courage in proclaiming the dignity of every human life and the enduring values of the Gospel.

We rejoice with the entire church in the election of Cardinal Robert Prevost as Pope Leo XIV and pray that he will be endowed with the gifts of the Spirit in service of the universal church.

The Leadership Conference of Women Religious mourns the death of Rev. Jesse L. Jackson, Sr., whose life embodied a prophetic commitment to justice, dignity, and the sacred worth of every person. Formed by faith and shaped by the nonviolent vision of Martin Luther King, Jr., Rev. Jackson gave courageous witness to the gospel call to transform unjust structures and to stand with those kept on the margins of society.

The United States Province of the Daughters of the Heart of Mary mourns the passing of Pope Francis.

As women of faith, we believe in the sanctity of all life and commit ourselves to do our part to protect those who are most vulnerable.
