This ‘Nun on the Bus’ rides for God’s people & planet
I agreed to participate with the “Nuns on the Bus” because the U.S. election on November 5, 2024, is extraordinarily important. I wanted to join other sisters in raising awareness about the issues that Catholic voters and other people of goodwill should consider when casting their ballots. Our country’s future and that of the planet is at stake in this election as never before.
