Catholic Sisters Week
Celebrating Traditions, Changing the World
March 8 – 14

Catholic Sisters Week is an annual celebration held March 8–14 that honors the extraordinary contributions of Catholic sisters and women religious across the United States and around the world. Observed each year during Women’s History Month, the week recognizes the spiritual leadership, compassionate service, and transformative impact of sisters in education, healthcare, social justice, parish ministry, advocacy, and outreach to people who are poor and marginalized.

Launched in 2014, Catholic Sisters Week invites communities to celebrate, learn about, and express gratitude for the lives and vocations of Catholic sisters. Throughout the week, congregations and organizations host events, share stories, highlight ministries, and promote vocations, helping others better understand religious life today.

Catholic Sisters Week also coincides with International Women’s Day on March 8, connecting the witness of Catholic sisters with the global celebration of women’s leadership and dignity. The week serves as a joyful reminder of the faith, courage, and dedication that Catholic sisters continue to bring to the Church and the world.
