1000 Sisters on the Frontlines receive $1,000
CHICAGO Just shy of the one-year mark from when the program was launched, the
Sisters on the Frontlines initiative, an alliance formed to respond to the immediate needs of communities impacted by COVID-19, has been fully funded. Catholic Extension made the announcement, indicating attainment of an ambitious goal that granted 1,000 Catholic sisters $1,000 each to help an individual or family suffering the adverse effects of the pandemic. More than $1,000,000 has been granted in total since the program’s inception.
In return for the $1,000 grant, each sister was asked to report back to the Frontlines alliance on how she used the funds to care for those in need. As a result, Catholic Extension received hundreds of videos, stories, letters and photos, which have been archived and shared on Catholic Extension’s website and social media channels.

It took some getting used to, but sister Maria Minerva Morales is now a faithful user of a cell phone app where she documents her interactions with people she ministers to.
Through the app, Morales who is part of the Catholic congregation Missionaries of Charity of Mary Immaculate documents the name, gender and age of the people she interacts with or those who seek her help. She notes whether it’s the first time she’s spoken to the person and whether they met up in person, over the phone or through Zoom. She also documents the nature of their meetings.
