Catholic sister promotes Synod on the Amazon

Add to Cart Add to Lightbox Download

Sister Kathryn "Katy" Webster, a Sister of Notre Dame de Namur from the United States, hands out a calendar that promotes the Synod of the Amazon to farmers in the countryside near Anapu, in Brazil's northern Para State. This area was forest land until recent decades, when the expansion of the agrarian frontier led to the steady destruction of this part of the Amazon's rain forest. Church activists have been at the forefront of defending the Amazon and its people, but they've paid a heavy price. Sister Dorothy Stang was assassinated by local ranchers in 2005.
