Excerpt re-printed from a November, 2007 article from Inside the
Vatican (Click here for
a printable, .pdf version of the entire article):
A year ago, in November 2006, in his message for the 93rd
World Day for Migrants and Refugees, Pope Benedict XVI reminded us that
immigration and exploitation are acquiring an ever more "feminine" face and that
it is urgent for us to know "how to read the signs of the times." The
"feminization" of the phenomenon leads, in some cases, to exploitation and
slavery in which "there are women and girls destined to be exploited in the
field of work, almost like slaves and -- not rarely -- also in the sexual
industry."
There is a prophetic role for faith-based organizations in addressing the
modern-day form of slavery, sex
trafficking. So says Italian Sr. Eugenia Bonetti, M.C., herself
a prophet, committed activist and today responsible for the anti-trafficking
initiatives of the USMI (a coalition of 627 women’s congregations), an ad
hoc office created in the year 2000 to address the issue of immigrant women
who have become victims of human trafficking. Sister Bonetti was born 68 years
ago in Bubbiano, a little town located near Milan. "I was born and raised in a
family with five sisters and one brother all older than I," Sister Bonetti told
us. "My baptismal name is Maddalena. At the age of 14, I read in a religious
magazine the story of a nun killed by Mau Mau rebels. Her name was Eugenia and I
said to myself: ‘I'll take her job.’ In the end, I did take up her job -- and
her name, too." She entered the congregation of the Consolata Missionary
Sisters. She has committed herself to fighting the exploitation and injustice
suffered by trafficked women - something she has seen first-hand over her
24-year career as a missionary in Kenya, and then as coordinator of
anti-trafficking strategies in Turin and now in Rome. (Click
here for a printable, .pdf version of the entire article)
 
There were more than 400 dinners sold at our fund raiser on
November 23, 2008. In addition, more than 375 memorials candles were sold
for All Saints/All Souls Day and 23 items were auctioned off, all of which
netted almost $10,000 which will be presented to Sister Eugenia in Rome in
December. The following are pictures of the benefit and many of the
families and individuals, without whom, this worthy cause may not have been the
beneficiary. Thanks to all who contributed time, money, auction items,
food, volunteer services, or daily prayer for and end to sex slavery.

Born Catholic but haven't practiced since childhood?
Being a faithful Adult Catholic is so important, not only for you but for
your entire family. While attending Mass is critical in meeting your
obligation to Catholicism, it is just as important that you know why we must
attend Mass, why it is important to know and follow the Liturgy, and why we do
the things we do, unlike many other denominations out there today.

and strengthen your faith. |
