For the Adorers of the Blood of Christ, the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision not to hear the order’s religious freedom claims in a legal challenge to a natural gas pipeline through their land in Pennsylvania came as no real surprise.

“But we needed to see it through and that’s what we did,” said Sr. Janet McCann, a member of the Adorers’ leadership team in St. Louis.
