NETWORK's Nuns on the Bus are hitting the road again – and they're coming to Bennington! Throughout the journey, Sister Simone Campbell will be joined by 18 other Catholic sisters for the 13-state tour that includes stops at both the Republican and Democratic Conventions. The Nuns will be calling on elected officials and candidates to "Mend the Gaps" in income and wealth inequality in our nation. Their goal is to bring a politics of inclusion to divided places, change the conversation to mending the vast economic and social divides in our country, and counter political in civility with our message of inclusion.

Welcome the Nuns and be a part of their round table discussion and potluck here in Bennington: Sacred Heart St Francis Parish Center, Thursday, July 21 from 4:00 to 6:00 PM. Contact Jackie Kelly to RSVP: JackieKellyVT@gmail.com or 802-681-7497.
