FOCUS ON ONGOING FORMATION

An essential part of the Franciscan charism is ONGOING CONVERSION. This means that we are called to continually turn our face toward God. No matter where we are in life, we can always do something to move closer to the Divine.

The Ongoing Formation Team would like to draw your attention to a few upcoming opportunities that may help you in your journey to walk ever more closely with God:

1. The Leadership Conference for Women Religious (LCWR) is offering a series of online conversations with prominent spiritual writers. It is called “Room in Your Heart for the Unimaginable: Encounters with the Divine.” Each session is 1 hour, 15 minutes. Upcoming sessions include Margaret Wheatley, Richard Rohr, and more. All sessions are free. For more information, click on the following link:
