Here is our Core Team update for this month.

2021 Encuentro
I am humbled and honored to give voice by proclaiming how good it was to come together for the Encuentro: Liberation, Justice, and Healing!
Encuentro 2021
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'.
Please be in touch!
Here's the best way to get a hold of us.
Encuentro Reflections
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.

Core Team Face-to-Face Meeting- July 2021
Core Team member Xiomara Méndez-Hernández, OP writes... Greetings from Florida, the Sunshine State!
This summer, we, your Giving Voice Core Team, finally met for our Annual Face-to-Face meeting. As you could imagine, our 2020 meeting did not take place. Like many around the globe, we needed to become creative in order to adapt to these new times.
LCWR National Assembly
For the third year in a row, the Leadership Conference of Woman Religious (LCWR) invited Giving Voice to attend its National Assembly as a guest. For the second year in a row the assembly was virtual. Approximately 30 Giving Voice sisters participated in this year’s Assembly as guest, congregational leader, exhibitor, or a combination of these three. Here is one sister’s reflection on her experience this year.
