Poor Handmaids Stand Against Hate in Our Community
The Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ are deeply saddened and troubled by the recent distribution of hate-filled flyers by the Ku Klux Klan in our Michiana community. Such actions, rooted in division and bigotry, stand in stark opposition to the core values of community, and dignity and respect for all that we hold dear as a community of faith and service.
Our mission as Poor Handmaids calls us to affirm the dignity of every human person and to create a culture of inclusion and respect. These hateful actions are a painful reminder of the work still needed to counteract prejudice and foster understanding in our society.
We stand in solidarity with all our neighbors who may feel targeted, marginalized, or afraid, including undocumented individuals and immigrant communities who often experience heightened vulnerability in the face of such hateful rhetoric.
We also urge members of our community to take action by contacting their mayors, local leaders, and state legislators to let them know that this type of hatred and division has no place in our towns and neighborhoods. Together, we can make it clear that Michiana stands for unity, dignity, and justice.
Now more than ever, we are called to respond to hatred with the transforming power of love. Inspired by the example of Jesus and guided by the charism of our Foundress, Saint Katharina Kasper, we reaffirm our commitment to building a community that upholds justice, peace, and the inherent worth of every person.
May we be instruments of peace in the face of division and light in the face of darkness.
In the spirit of love and service,
The Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ
