Thanks to Maureen Leach for sending in these videos.

*  Coinciding with the Nuns on the Bus cross-country tour, 174 members of Congress co-sponsored a resolution commending the American women religious community for their tremendous impact on our nation.  CLICK HERE to see the video. 

Text of the draft House Resolution 689 (and its status) can be found here.    Also on this page is a link to a related resolution in the Senate.  Both are still in committee.

*  Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Beaverdale, Des Moines, Iowa, was the kick off of Nuns on the Bus national tour to bring the message of hope to those folks who find themselves in the margins through NO fault of there own.  CLICK HERE to hear Sister Simone Campbell's thoughtful and inspirational message.
