“Last Thursday, January 29 I met with two Sisters of Life – Sister Gaudia Marie (right) and Mother Mary Concepta, SV, superior of the community. With joy I learned about their mission to protect and enhance the sacredness of human life by helping pregnant women and young mothers in the Philadelphia region. Their mission is a mission of hope and we are so blessed to have them here in the Church of Philadelphia!”
