From May 24 to 27, 2018, in Montreal, more than 250 men and women religious in leadership from Catholic congregations in Canada attended the 32nd General Assembly of the CRC. Professor Elena Lasida gave the keynote address on the theme “The nights are laden with life. Watcher, what do you say?”
Elena began her presentation quoting the letter of St. Paul the Apostle to the Romans:
“We know that the whole creation has been groaning in travail together until now. . . . For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees?” Rom 8:22 and 24
Sister Susan Kidd, CND, initiated the idea of Visitation Place in the spring of 2017. She has been committed to the experience of sharing in a faith-filled community living experience with young women. These women live in half of the duplex while Susan lives in the other. All are committed to living simply, sharing meals and prayer as well as participating in regular volunteer outreach.
Susan, Chaplain at UPEI, shares her experience of the past year.
On Saturday, May 5th the sisters and associates from Innisfail area gathered together to hear the message from the Provincial Chapter by Sister Becky McKenna and Sister Catherine Walker of the leadership team. It was an inspirational time of prayer, contemplation, and sharing, certainly gift to all of us who were able to attend. Special thanks to both Sister Becky and Sister Catherine.
