Vows as a Container for Life

August 2016 is the one-year anniversary of my profession of final vows, my first “vow-iversary” one might say! This month I also attended the LCWR Assembly as a representative for Giving Voice along with fellow Core Team member, Chero Chuma, CSJP. Margaret Wheatley set the stage with the opening talk entitled, “Finding Ground in the Age of Groundlessness.” She closed her remarks with some profound insights into the significance of vows.

Giving Voice 40’s retreat – Emerging and Empowering: Mercy as a Lens for Leadership

“Let us bring the gifts that differ, and in splendid varied ways… Sing a new church into being.  One in faith and love and praise.”  With the words of this song, over 20 sisters in their 40’s both began and ended their weekend gathering, August 5 -  7th in Seattle, Washington,  Under the theme of “Emerging and Empowering:  Mercy as a lens for leadership” we gathered to pray, share, contemplate, and build community.  (And of course have a bit of fun too!)

Catholic sisters are in ministry and advocacy positions in places as diverse as medical clinics in Kenya and the streets of New York.

We're looking for a woman religious with a deep understanding and appreciation for the scope and complexity of the global sisterhood who can share that knowledge with a global team of reporters and writers.
