Earlier this month, Sr. Katty traveled to Rome for HOPE 2025, an international gathering of Catholic Sisters focused on connection, healing, and leadership. The event brought together nearly 200 Sisters in person, with more than 100 participating online. Representing Giving Voice, a network of young Catholic Sisters in the United States, Sr. Katty also served on the event’s Liturgy Committee, collaborating with Sisters from around the world.
Reflecting on her experience, Sr. Katty shared: “The experience of being there was profoundly powerful and is something I will always treasure. I felt profoundly connected to our shared commitment to a global sisterhood that walks together in love for God’s world and embraces God’s mission through creative, collaborative, and courageous leadership.”
Prior to the event, Sr. Katty visited family in Milan and expressed deep gratitude to her fellow Sisters: “Thank you, dear Sisters, for helping me shower my mom and sisters in Milan with hugs and kisses. They are deeply grateful for the way you accompany us with such generosity and trust.”
Now back in Saint Louis to continue her studies, Sr. Katty carries forward the spirit of HOPE 2025, a call to nurture spaces of belonging, where Sisters walk with one another in diversity and hope.
