Friends of Nano – Job Opportunity

This is expressed by finding creative ways to further its mission of doing justice in the way of Jesus, of working towards peace on earth and of upholding the integrity of creation.  The desire to live compassionately and to respond to the needs of our times is still a very powerful one.

Today, Nano Nagle continues to inspire people around the world.
