Celebrating CWR’s 25th anniversary

The Sisters of Charity Federation was well represented at the 25th anniversary conference of Communicators for Women Religious (CWR) in Mesa, Arizona, this week. Those attending included communications and development personnel from seven federation member congregations; Sister Grace Hartzog, SC (Greensburg), federation executive director; and Susan Oxley, federation communications coordinator.

Spalding Hurst, communications specialist for the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth, Kentucky, and Jane Strittmatter, director of public relations for the Sisters of Charity of Seton Hill, Greensburg, Pennsylvania, currently serve on the CWR board of directors. Many federation communicators are longtime members of the organization.
