Brother Paul addresses Canadians

Gives keynote to national vocation association


NRVC Executive Director Brother Paul Bednarczyk, CSC was one of the keynote speakers at the National Association of Vocation and Formation Directors (NAVFD) held in Toronto, Ontario, from March 9-12.  His talk, “Moving Forward in Hope: A Moment of Grace and Opportunity,” reviewed learnings from the 2010 “Moving Forward in Hope” vocation symposium and the many new initiatives by NRVC since that landmark gathering.  Brother Paul was also invited to meet with the NAVFD board while there.

More than 100 vocation and formation directors across Canada gathered under the theme “Promises, Prophecy, and Hope.” Additional keynote speakers included Sister Barbara Reid, OP and Father Francis Morissey, OMI. 

“NRVC currently has 28 members north of the border,” remarked Brother Paul, “and we continue to be grateful for their close collaboration and support.”
