This weekend, the Congregation of Divine Providence (CDP) honored Sr. Christine Stephens and Sr. Pearl Caesar for 50 years of work as women religious.

Sr. Christine Stephens' accomplishments include establishing IAF organizations across Texas, guiding the development of new West / Southwest IAF organizations in Louisiana (and beyond) and mentoring organizers across the West / Southwest US. As co-chair of the Industrial Areas Foundation (IAF), she strengthened the international network of more than 60 organizations.

Sr. Pearl Ceasar has been similarly active. Prior to serving as Executive Director of Project QUEST in San Antonio, the flagship labor market intermediary of the West / Southwest IAF, Sr. Pearl oversaw the network of ten labor market intermediaries that spans several states.

Congratulations Sr. Christine and Sr. Pearl!
