September 2021

I am humbled and honored to give voice by proclaiming how good it was to come together for the Encuentro:  Liberation, Justice, and Healing!

It has been a few days since the end of the Giving Voice’s 2021 Encuentro, an intentional space to build a community of young members of Religious Life living in the United States. However, my heart is still beating with joy for such a precious and blessed 'encounter'.

From August 19-22, 2021, Giving Voice sisters gathering at the Carmelite Spiritual Center in the Chicago suburbs for our Encuentro: Liberation, Justice, & Healing. We are especially thankful to AnaYelsi Velasco-Sanchez for her wisdom and guidance through this experience.

Please enjoy a few photos from the event as well as two reflections from sister participants.
