Men religious gather at St. Meinrad's

NRVC sponsored "Men Religious Moving Forward in Hope" December 9-11 at St. Meinrad Archabbey, IN--an event aimed at helping men's religious communities to better understand the context and challenges of vocation ministry today. Superiors and vocation ministers attended together. They listened to presentations and met together and with other men religious to discuss their hopes, challenges, and strategies regarding new membership.

Every participant took home a tool created to assist with assessing a community's internal "vocation culture."

The next meeting of "Men Religious Moving Forward in Hope" will take place January 14-16, 2014 in Houston, TX at the Holy Name Retreat Center. This project has been sponsored by an anonymous donor.
