SUPPORTING THE WORK OF
SISTERS OF THE LIVING WORD
You can support the mission and ministry of the Sisters of the Living Word in a variety of ways.
Living Word Prayer Cards
When actions or words are not enough, or when you want to say something special, order a SLW card.
The Living Word Prayer Card program offers a meaningful way to express your love, care, and prayer for special people in your life. Recipients of a Living Word card are remembered at Mass every Tuesday and in the daily prayers of the Sisters of the Living Word. All donors receive an acknowledgment of their request and donation. Donors and card recipients are listed in OutWord, the SLW newsletter. This is a free-will offering. Thank you!
The Sisters of the Living Word Card program is a unique way to express yourself to your friends and loved ones. The program offers:

We can furnish you with a supply of cards. Indicate the cards and quantities you want. When the card is used, send the enrollment envelope and your free-will offering to the SLW Advancement Office.
