This year’s Diamond Jubilee is the perfect time to pick up your rosary and pray for missionaries working in every part of the world.

Among the teachings of the Second Vatican Council for the Catholic Church was ecumenicism, of seeking places of unity across religious lines with people of all faiths in the world. In 1979, St. Joseph’s Hospital in Chicago hosted a pastoral care seminar, gathering those concerned with spiritual wellness of their patients in one place for a free exchange of ideas. Pictured are two Daughters, Sister Virginia Kingsbury (left) and Sister John Gabriel McPhee (right), with Reverend Mary Wilkins of the Virginia Conference of the United Methodist Church standing between them beneath the seal of the Daughters of Charity, which reflects their common care for those under their charge.
