Convocation and pre-convo workshops

Convocation and pre-convo workshops

Will you join us in October?


Convocations are a time for members to be enriched as they support and encourage each other. When NRVC members gather, they also have fun—as seen here during Summer Institute 2016.

Vocation directors and others interested in building the future of religious life are cordially invited to attend the October 27-31 convocation of NRVC in Overland Park, Kansas.

Hundreds of vocation ministers will gather under the theme "Awakened by the Spirit: Called to Discipleship." The convocation will include keynoters, workshops, a special live-streamed panel with young religious, networking, and inspiring companionship and liturgies.

Increase your learning at the convocation by arriving early enough for a pre-event workshop on October 27. Choose from one of four workshops starting that morning:

Understanding and assessing behavioral addictions
Father David Songy, O.F.M. Cap.

Vocation ministry and the issues of civil, canon, and immigration law
Mrs. Donna Miller and Mr. Miguel Naranjo

Crafting authentic community
Sister Ruth Anne Harkins, I.H.M.

Tips of the trade: How to market vocations for your religious institute
Ms. Cynthia Krohn

Don't delay. Take advantage of pricing without late fees by registering today.
