People and project to be honored at convocation

NRVC Recognition Award

At its September meeting, the NRVC board selected three members to receive the Recognition Award, which is given to members who have demonstrated outstanding service and leadership in vocation ministry:

• Mr. Greg Darr, Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers vocation team member
• Brother David Henley, Glenmary Home Missioners former vocation director
• Sister Lisa Laguna, Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent DePaul, Province of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton vocation director

Congratulations to each of them for their commitment and expertise in this important ministry. The awards will be given during the forthcoming NRVC convocation.

Mustard Seed Award

For the NRVC Mustard Seed Award—also to be given during the November convocation—the board selected the University of Mary Vocations Jamboree. This North Dakota annual event began in 2016. It is carried out through a partnership between the University of Mary, the Diocese of Bismarck, North Dakota,  Annunciation Monastery, and Assumption Abbey. The Vocations Jamboree is described by proponents as a “welcoming and dynamic vocation event.”

Details about the convocation, to take place October 31 through November 4 in Minneapolis, are at nrvc.net.
