Marywood University “Nuns on the Bus & Friends” Event

Nuns on the Bus & Friends to Visit Marywood University/Scranton community for a Town Hall as part of “Vote Our Future” Tour

The Nuns and the Bus & Friends will visit Marywood University as part of their 2024 nonpartisan “Vote Our Future” tour on Tuesday, October 1, at the Liguori Center in Regina Hall. Doors open at 5 p.m., and the event begins at 6 p.m. Space for the indoor portion of the town hall is limited, so advanced registration is required at: mobilize.us/network/event/677730.

The famous bus will be located outdoors, behind the Marywood University Arch on Adams Avenue, rain or shine, and there are no space limitations to see and sign the bus. Marywood University and the Congregation of the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (IHM Sisters) are co-sponsoring the town hall, which is free and open to the public.

On their two-and-a-half-week, nationwide “Vote Our Future Tour,” Nuns on the Bus & Friends will call on Catholics and all people of goodwill to be multi-issue voters. At the Town Hall, they will engage people from across Northeastern Pennsylvania in envisioning a community where everyone—no matter what they look like or how much money they have—is able to thrive.

According to representatives of NETWORK, the national Catholic advocacy organization that operates the tour, “The Nuns on the Bus & Friends will explore with the Scranton community our visions for our community, share dreams and stories, and look to the ways that people can take action during this election season, to ensure that they are moving on a pathway toward that shared tomorrow.” This nationwide, two-and-a-half-week tour is NETWORK’s first in-person bus tour in six years and a cornerstone of NETWORK’s 2024 nonpartisan voter education campaign, “Vote Our Future: Everyone Thrives, No Exceptions!” Traveling from Philadelphia to San Francisco, Nuns on the Bus & Friends will urge people to protect the freedoms that promote a future of flourishing for everyone. From September 30 to October 18, bus riders will meet with communities across the country to lift up the vision of an inclusive, multiracial, multi-faith democracy and equip everyone to vote.
