Sister Beth Davies, CND, to receive Ketteler Award for Social Justice
At the Annual Assembly of the Sisters of Divine Providence, Beth Davies, CND, will be presented with the 2015 Ketteler Award for Social Justice.
We recognize Sister Beth for her advocacy and activism on behalf of the impoverished, addicted and exploited in Southwest Virginia — the heart of Appalachia. Serving a region in despair and advocating for the people who are too often forgotten, Sister Beth’s ministry reflects Bishop’s Ketteler’s energetic work for justice.
In 1998, the Sisters of Divine Providence instituted the Ketteler Award to honor individuals who demonstrate a strong commitment to social justice. The award, named for Wilhelm Emmanuel von Ketteler, Bishop of Mainz, Germany, and founder of the Congregation, is presented annually.

Visitation Province Assembly - Thursday - July 9, 2015
Beginning our mornings in a prolonged period of contemplation of the Holy One, within and all around us, has been and continues to be gift. In that spirit we included in this morning’s prayer the election of delegates to the General Chapter from Visitation Province.
Deepening the call of our directional statement: Process was truly the operative word for the day’s work of making our statement come alive in the context of today’s reality.
