I have recieved a question or two about the photograph I posted in a previous post of the the two sisters in NYC rollerblading, habits flowing in the wind, rosaries swining with wild abandon.
They are the Sisters of Life out of Brooklyn, NY.
‘”The Sisters of Life is a contemplative/ active religious community of women founded in 1991 by John Cardinal O’Connor for the protection and enhancement of the sacredness of every human life. Like all religious communities, we take the three 
traditional vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. We also are consecrated under a special, fourth vow to protect and enhance the sacredness of human life. Reverence and gratitude for the unique and unrepeatable gift of each human life made in the image and likeness of God fuels the prayer of each Sister, our first mission in building the Kingdom of God and the “Culture of Life.”’
For more information, visit their website or be old-school and write:

If you happen to be intersted in seeing a segment on MTV news about the postulants to this order click here.
If you happen to find some spare change in the cushions of your couch, I bet they could use it.
