"Next Steps in Hope" brings sisters together

"Next Steps in Hope" brings sisters together

30+ communities to gather in Chicago


A group representing more than 25 sisters' communities will convene for NRVC's  "Next Steps in Hope" meeting February 18-19, 2014 at the Felician Sisters' Motherhouse in Chicago.

The group's purpose is to review what a number of communities have done (or stopped doing) to help spur internal change in their congregations with an intent to foster vocations. ​The group hopes to identify the ​resources, ​programs, ​or ​processes ​​needed ​to aid ​women’s ​institutes ​in ​attracting ​and ​retaining ​new, ​vowed ​membership. ​The ​results ​of ​this think ​tank ​will ​inform ​NRVC ​and the sponsoring ​GHR Foundation ​as ​to ​what ​further ​action ​is ​needed ​to ​sustain ​the ​viability ​of women ​religious ​in ​the ​United ​States.
