Nora Nash
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nora Nash is a Sister of St. Francis of Philadelphia and shareholder activist.[1] She is a member of the Philadelphia Coalition for Responsible Investment as well as the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility (ICCR). Nash is also a speaker at Neumann University and other universities on justice and advocacy.[2]
Nash grew up in Limerick County, Ireland. In her early life, Nash dreamed of becoming a missionary in Africa, but in 1959, she arrived in Pennsylvania to join the Sisters of St. Francis, an order founded in 1855 by Mother Francis Bachmann, a Bavarian immigrant focused on social justice. Nash took her Franciscan vows of chastity, poverty, and obedience two years later, in 1961.[1]
