New York With Earth Month coming to a close, I thought it would only be appropriate to end weeks of celebrating our environment with a video of how you can continue this momentum of appreciating nature and promoting the care of our planet.
Living in a service year and being environmentally conscious can be difficult, but in my video, I lay out some of the ways that living simply and intentionally have helped me continue my practice of low- to zero-waste living. I show how I save money when I stop and think, and I also point out the ways in which I can still work on my efforts of being more eco-friendly. In the end, I discuss my privileges and talk about how thinking about our planet first is a practice I learned when I was a young girl.

When Martin Baron, one of the most consequential newspaper editors in America, announced his upcoming retirement, he cited his work overseeing the Boston Globe s coverage of clergy sexual abuse and cover-up as a highlight of his journalistic career. I think the impact has been really quite profound on several levels, he told NCR ahead of his retirement. One on investigative journalism, the other on the Catholic Church and then more broadly on institutions that are facing allegations of abuse of various types, but particularly sexual abuse.

Prayer marathons, informational seminars, survivor panels, and an international Twitterstorm are just some of the many activities taking place Feb. 8 for the International Day of Prayer and Awareness Against Human Trafficking.
The day coincides with the feast day of St. Josephine Bakhita, who was kidnapped and sold into slavery in Sudan, eventually gaining her freedom and becoming a Canossian Daughter of Charity. She is the patron saint of human trafficking survivors.
With women religious deeply engaged in anti-trafficking ministries all over the world largely through networks united under the international Talitha Kum umbrella network several organizations and congregations offer a variety of opportunities to commemorate this day of reflection against human trafficking.
