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.
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.
Calling all Chicagoland sisters!
Did you know Religious Formation Conference has a new office? All Giving Voice sisters are warmly invited to their Open House this September 21, 2021.
Please RSVP to rfc@relforcon.org. And, let us know if you attended and share how it went!
The Core Team warmly welcomes our newest member, Melissa Camardo, SCL. Melissa is a Sister of Charity of Leavenworth currently living and ministering in New York City. You can read more about her here.
There are many familiar Giving Voice faces on the pages of NRVC's 2020 Study on Recent Vocations to Religious Life. Check it out for yourself! You might recognize a friend.
The 2020 Study Brochure is just one of many resources available through the National Religious Vocation Conference.
We send our warmest wishes and prayers to Sr. Rejane Cytacki, SCL as she begins her new role as Executive Director. Rejane is a familiar face around Giving Voice as she is an active participant and former Core Team member. Many blessings to you, Rejane!
