Uprising of Hope

May 30, 2009 saw some 100 women come together in St. Louis to sing for another 300 people songs of hope written and directed by Carolyn McDade. Representatives of the Adorers of the Blood of Christ included Sisters Kate Reid, Joan Shalapin and Linda Anne Ranard along with Pat Carter, co-worker in the U.S. Region Mission Center. The concert, sponsored by the Intercommunity Justice Committee of LCWR-Region 10, raised money for Marian Middle School for marginalized girls.

Sister, Carry On
Sister, carry on! Sister, carry on! It may be rocky and it may be rough, but, sister, carry on.
Sister, don’t lose the dream! Sister, don’t lose the dream! Don’t sell out for no short time gain; Sister, don’t lose the dream!
Sister, don’t settle too soon! Sister, don’t settle too soon! ‘Til everybody’s got their rights, Sister, don’t settle too soon!
Sister, we share the way! Sister, we share the way! Heart to heart and hand to hand, Sister, we share the way!
Stand in solidarity! Stand in solidarity! Together bring a brand new day. Stand in Solidarity!
Sister, carry on! Sister, carry on!It may be rocky and it may be rough, but, sister, carry on!
