Founders week event

For founders week, I attended a few events. The one event I would like to discuss is the talk given by Father Eddie Fernandez. He answered questions that a few students had prepared for him regarding the catholic religion. I found his response very engaging and interesting. I learned and connected through his responses that the sisters of Notre Dame work to uphold the key principles f catholic social teaching such as promotion of peace, or participation. The charism of the foundresses influence the career choices of a political science graduate from NDNU by instilling and teaching principles like justice for all, human dignity, respect for all, and the recognition of our rights and responsibilities.

My Community partner and legislative change

The Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur have always supported the legislations that are best for the less fortunate. They offer support and do what they can especially when it has to do with and important issue. The sister work all over the world and fight for different causes all over the world. There are sisters in Africa who help educate children. Sisters in Nicaragua who provide support and education for the disabled. And one big example of how the sisters fight for legislative change is sister Dorothy Stang's work in the Brazil. She dedicated her time to helping the local people from the big lumber companies and did a lot to help influence legislation and to ensure the rights of the people. The Sisters are very much involved in legislative change and do their best to help change legislation for the betterment of the communities thats they are working in.
