SUMMARY:Jericho House: 11th Annual Ecology Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Theme: Intimate Presence with Earth \nThomas Berry has written that in order to meet the needs of our times\, “we need a spirituality that emerges out of a reality deeper than ourselves\, a spirituality that is as deep as the Earth process itself\, a spirituality that is born out of the solar system and even out of the heavens beyond the solar system”. This is what the Universe (Cosmic) Story potentially offers us. During this week we will be seeking to commune\, to enter into deeper relationship and to establish an intimate presence with the universe. We will explore the way in which the Universe (Cosmic) Story is also our own personal story and how a greater understanding of this story can inspire a more intimate and more sacred relationship with Earth and those with whom we share Earth. \nGuest speaker\n \nNiamh Brennan (PhD\, School of Religion\, Trinity College\, Dublin) is a writer and workshop facilitator in the areas of cosmology and spirituality. She is author of ‘The Human in the Universe’ (Wyndham Hall Press\, 2014) and co-author with Greg Morter of ‘The Universe Story in Science and Myth’ (Green Spirit\, 2016). She has contributed to several journals including: ‘Religions’\, ‘Worldviews: Global Religions\, Ecology and Culture’\, ‘Spirituality’ and ‘The Furrow’. \nShe has written and presented courses\, lectures\, retreats and workshops all based on the new cosmology at the Marino Institute of Education (Dublin)\, An Tairseach Dominican Ecology Center (Wicklow) and at Mt St. Anne’s Retreat Centre (Portarlington\, Co. Laois). \nShe has worked with the Society of St. Columban for a number of years in the Philippines in Mindanao\, as a Project and Outreach Worker. During that time\, her perceived notions about society\, poverty\, wealth distribution and social change were challenged. This changed and influenced every study and career step she has taken ever since. \nRegistration & fees\nPlease register before May 31\, 2022 via email: leadership@jerichohouse.org \nRegister \n\nResidents $550 (CDN)/US $450 \nCommuters $450 (CDN)\n\nMake cheques payable to Jericho House. \nRetreat sponsored by Jericho House & Office of Province Life & Renewal | Edmund Rice Christian Brothers North America \n \nJericho House\, 10845 Rathfon Road\nPort Colborne\, Ontario  L3K 5V4\n+1 905-834-0553 \n

SUMMARY:The Global Compact on Education: Exploring challenges and calls to build an integral education\, Ona B. Bessette\, CND
DESCRIPTION:The Newman Centre\, in collaboration with the Newman Institute of Catholic Studies\, presents the 2022 Marguerite Bourgeoys Lecture on Education. This lecture is a public lecture. The event will be by Zoom (not in person). \nJOIN EVENT \nMeeting ID: 370 101 7103 \nThe Global Compact on Education:\nExploring challenges and calls\nto build an integral education  \nIn September 2019\, Pope Francis announced the Global Compact on Education in order to rekindle dedication for and with young people to renew passion for a more open and inclusive education characterized by patient listening\, constructive dialogue and better mutual understanding. He invited everyone to unite their efforts in a broad educational alliance to form mature individuals capable of overcoming division and antagonism and to restore the fabric of relationships for the sake of a more fraternal humanity. \nSpeaker Bio\n \nSister Ona Bessette has been a member of the Congregation de Notre Dame since 1982. Born in Waterbury\, Connecticut\, USA\, she received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology from the University of Saint Joseph in West Hartford\, CT. She holds a Masters of Arts degree in Education from the University of Northern Arizona in Flagstaff\, AZ and a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Administration and Supervision from Fordham University in New York City. In her doctoral dissertation\, Dancing at the Crossroads: Liberating Latina Adolescent Voice\, she explored the development of a pedagogy for the mutual education of Latina girls and their teachers founded on Paulo Freire’s concepts of liberating education and the spirituality of the Visitation\, which are central to the charism of the Congregation de Note Dame. \nFor nearly thirty years\, Sister Ona was a science teacher and administrator in the schools of the Congregation. In 2010\, she became the Director of Educational Services for the Edmund Rice Christian Brothers of North America\, a position she held for six years. During this time\, she worked with educators and students across the United States\, in Australia\, Ireland\, India\, Africa and South America. \nIn 2016\, she became a member of the General Council of the Congregation in Montreal and was elected Congregational Leader in 2021. \nThe History of the Marguerite Bourgeoys Lecture \nThe Marguerite Bourgeoys Lecture on Education was inaugurated in 2003 as part of the Newman Centre’s annual cycle of academic lectures. It pays tribute to St. Marguerite Bourgeoys\, the seventeenth-century woman pioneer of Canadian education\, who was instrumental in the establishment of the colony that would become Montreal.  \nThe purpose of the Marguerite Bourgeoys lectures is to explore educational theories and practices in the modern world in the light of Catholic doctrine\, ethics\, and theologically-derived understandings of the human person. They also aim to explore the important legal and social relationships between religious freedom and faith-based education as they are affected by various forms of secularism in the Western world.  \nAn academic committee oversees the selection of speakers and ensures that the lectures continue to give voice to important concerns facing the future of Catholic education both in Canada and abroad.  \nSince their inception\, the lectures have been generously sponsored by the Congregation of Notre Dame\, the religious order founded by St. Marguerite Bourgeoys\, which has a long and distinguished place in the history of Canadian education.

SUMMARY:Star of the North Retreat Centre: Aurora Living Module 2 - "Wilderness: From Slavery to Freedom"
DESCRIPTION:We are faced not with two separate crises\, one environmental and the other social\, but rather with one complex crisis which is both social and environmental. Laudato Si' #139 \nAurora Living aims to build an intergenerational\, cultural and faith community\, inspired by contemporary witnesses who are making a difference in the world. The program will empower contemplative living and stimulate action for contemporary needs and times. We will learn how Christian\, Indigenous and other wisdom traditions can guide our response to today’s environmental and social problems. Following the arc of Scripture (from Genesis to Revelation)\, we will ground the program in the prophetic principles of Pope Francis’ letter to the world\, “Laudato Si’” and maintain our commitment to the Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action. \nAurora is a term meaning “dawn” but has also come to be associated with solar particles that appear to dance in the night sky in an awe-inspiring display of what is commonly called the Northern Lights. \nWilderness: From Slavery to Freedom\nLife is an exodus\, sometimes an exterior journey a long way from home (eg. the immigrant experience) and always an extraordinary interior journey. Exodus is the transformation of our consciousness through a time of personal or collective “wilderness”; an experience of distinct steps of awakening to the reality of Spirit. In this module\, we will hear the valued perspective of indigenous knowledge of natural law as this applies to intergenerational effects of residential school and of how the land heals us. \nFeatured Presenters\n\nRabbi Gila Caine\nLucie Leduc\nMorningstar Mercredi\nDaphie Pooyak\nFr. Ron Rolheiser OMI\nSr. Sue Wilson\, CSJ\nRabbi David Zaslow\n\nWe have gathered a diverse collective of presenters and contemporary witnesses who embody the call to “love and serve our global family and to care for our common home.” Alongside the Aurora Living team\, these facilitators will meet us at the intersection of faith and real-life issues\, guiding us through teaching\, reflection\, and ritual. \n\nReimagining Exodus: A Story of Freedom\, Rabbi David Zaslow\nThe Serpent & the Wood: Facing our Demons with Grace\, Lucie Leduc\nCreation & Incarnation\, Ron Rolheiser OMI\nThe Year of Jubilee: Leviticus Revisited\, Rabbi Gila Caine\nOur Response to Human Trafficking\, Sue Wilson CSJ\nIntergenerational Effects of Residential Schools\, Morningstar Mercredi\nHow the Land Heals Us\, Daphie Pooyak\n\nAbout Aurora Living\nStar of the North Retreat Centre has launched an online/on-site signature\, three-year program–Aurora Living: Word and Creation. Our emphasis is to deepen our relationship with Sacred Word and renew our relationship with Christ’s Spirit for the good of creation. \nThe intersection of Word\, Creation\, Communion\, Contemplation\, & Justice will transform us for a radical way of life to become agents of a new dawn.

Not only a crisis\, however\, but also a great reminder! Not only a reminder\, but also an opportunity!

The pandemic has called us to think about how we value “essential workers.” It has prompted us to re-examine the social determinants of health. \nThis conference will seek to examine the response to the pandemic within our organizations\, the way we have delivered care and cared for those who deliver it.

Substitutions are acceptable at any time. \nKeynote Speakers and Facilitator\nKeynote Speaker #1: Dr. David Dean of Atlantic School of Theology \n \n“Crossing Boundaries: The Holy Spirit and the formation of Christ’s Body” \nDr. David Deane will speak about the baptismal life as a life lived in relationship with the Holy Spirit. He will focus on some key moments in scripture\, which show what the relationship with the Holy Spirit is like. He will also unpack Hildegard of Bingen’s understanding of how we live out our vocation through a process where the Holy Spirit pollinates our natural gifts. The goal will be for participants to come to a greater understanding of how the Christian life\, in terms of their roles in faith formation\, social justice\, evangelism\, or any other role\, is a life lived in relationship with the Holy Spirit in a very intimate way. \nDr. David Deane is Associate Professor of Theology at Atlantic School of Theology. His books include “Nietzsche and Theology” and “Resisting the Tyranny of the Banal”\, which is forthcoming with Fortress/Lexington Academic. A former fellow of the Irish Research Council for the Humanities and Social Sciences\, he has written for The Times of London\, The Irish Times\, and The Irish Independent. He lives in Dartmouth\, Nova Scotia\, with his wife Jennifer\, and daughters\, Sophia (14)\, Chora (12)\, and Àine\, 7. \nKeynote Speaker #2: Sister Margo Ritchie\, CSJ of London\, Ontario \n \nWhere is This Place Called ‘Here’-The Adjacent Possible? \nBorrowing a phrase from Irish poet Padraig O Tuama\, Margo will begin to describe the landscape of this place called ‘here’ as a starting point for conversation among us. How we name this place called ‘here’ influences what we see…and what we don’t see.  Through the lens of call she will explore with us the image of the “adjacent possible”. \nSr. Margo Ritchie\, CSJ \nMargo is a Sister of St. Joseph whose life has taken her from teaching high school to being a co-director of a home for women in transition\, to the work of spiritual direction at a retreat house in London. Her service now is the very interesting work of leadership within her Congregation. \nShe cares about making the world a more hospitable place for everyone and learning ways to live more humanly together. \nKeynote Speaker #3: Father Daniel Horan\, OFM of Chicago \n \nDiscernment\, Vocation\, and Formation in the Thought of Pope Francis \nIn keeping with the vision of a universal call to holiness expressed in the documents of the Second Vatican Council\, Pope Francis has frequently written and spoken about need to attend to discernment in the lives of all the baptized. Recognizing consecrated religious life and ministerial priesthood as subsets of a broader theology of vocation\, this presentation explores what the pope’s contributions to the themes of discernment and vocation have to offer to renewed consideration of religious formation and vocation ministries. \nDaniel P. Horan\, OFM\, PhD is the Duns Scotus Professor of Spirituality at Catholic Theological Union in Chicago\, where he teaches systematic theology and spirituality\, a columnist for the National Catholic Reporter\, and the author of hundreds of articles and more than twelve books\, including Catholicity and Emerging Personhood: A Contemporary Theological Anthropology(Orbis Books\, 2019)\, which received the 2020 First Place Award for Theology Book from the Association of Catholic Publishers. Among his forthcoming books due out later this year are A White Catholic’s Guide to Racism and Privilege and The Way of the Franciscans: A Prayer Journey Through Lent. Fr. Daniel regularly lectures around the United States and abroad; serves on a number of university\, academic\, and publication editorial boards\, including the St. Bonaventure University Board of Trustees\, the Franciscan School of Theology Board of Regents\, and the Board of Directors of the International Thomas Merton Society. He is co-host of The Francis Effect Podcast.

She will be on hand to give us an update on formation activities in the United States. \nWorkshop Session Details\nDue to our online format\, participants will be able to attend all 9 workshops if desired. \n1.The Dawning Future of Religious Life: Germinating and Radiating – Brenda Peddigrew\, RSM\, PhD\nAlthough we see a significant diminishing of numbers in our Canadian ways of living religious life\, and many of our familiar Congregations are coming to conscious completion\, it is most important at this time to recognize and attend to the deep and abiding influences that our Congregations have had and still have. Instead of “ending” we are really in “germination”\, and our good influence in the world continues to radiate wherever we are or have been. The soul of this workshop is the recognition and practice of seeing how the heart of religious life continues in different forms\, and will continue long after traditional forms have transformed. \n2. Do Monkeys Go to Heaven? The Beauty and Wisdom of Faith and Science – Rev. John W. McCarthy\, SJ\, PhD\nThere persists a seemingly widespread notion that religious faith and empirical science must\, by necessity\, be in conflict. Yet as many contemporary scholars of the history of science tell us\, the relationship is much more complex than that. \nProperly understood\, science and religion are not in conflict but act as fruitful partners in a healthy dialogue that seeks the truth of the fullness of human experience.  Placing biological evolution in dialogue with the Christian theology of creation\, we will examine the wisdom and beauty of science and faith.  We will consider the vast\, wondrous world of “both/and” rather than the limited\, oppressive world of “either/or.” Both science and faith deal with data – albeit data of a different character and quality.  Both scientific and theological/philosophical inquiry need to be taken seriously.  It is in charitable and welcoming dialogue that any semblance of truth may be attained. \n3. Formation that Nurtures Transformative Servant Leadership – Sr. Miriam K. Martin\, PBVM\, PhD\nI have meaningful and challenging conversations both within my NL Province and the larger International Presentation Congregation about formation for emerging leaders within our groups. It is evident that leadership development for religious life and ministry is nurtured in initial formation. In these evolving times within religious life\, mature human development and a commitment to a communal way of life play a significant role in drawing persons into living and leading with depth\, authenticity\, and creativity. This is a movement towards transformative servant leadership. \n4. Christus Vivit:  From Paper to Practice – Santo Arrigo\, C.Ss.R.\nExploring the gift and essence of the Apostolic Exhortation to Young People\, Christus Vivit\, and applying the scope and vision as a pastoral and missionary priority within the context of a religious congregation in Canada. \n5. Who are our Newest Members? A Look at Millennials and Gen Z – Sr. Ellen Dauwer\, SC\, PhD\nThis presentation will begin with an overall look at the two most recent generations: Millennials and Gen Zeders. It will then focus on Catholics in these generations and conclude with a look at characteristics of members of these generations who are entering religious life. CARA and Pew research will form the foundation of the presentation. \n6. Catechetical Formation of Candidates for Religious Life: Challenges and Opportunities – Tony Bidgood\, C.Ss.R.\, MDiv\nIn the presentation\, Fr. Tony will give a description of the conditions of belief in 21st– Century secular Canada\, with a focus on the opportunities posed by this time to the catechetical formation of candidates for religious life. \n7. Together for Mission: Formation of Associates of Religious Institutes – Anne Walsh\, DMin\nIn this presentation\, we will explore charisms as gifts of the Holy Spirit to the Church. Together\, we will explore the dimensions of charism\, and ask how new vision and understanding might lead us to new possibilities for identifying\, inviting\, forming and calling associates to greater missionary involvement. \n8.“Done Made My Vow To The Lord: The Vocational Call of Sister Thea Bowman\, FSPA” – Maurice J. Nutt\, C.Ss.R.\nThis workshop takes a deep dive into the conversion to Catholicism\, acceptance\, challenges\, and perseverance of the vocational journey of Servant of God Sister Thea Bowman\, FSPA. Sister Thea was multi-vocational as a teacher\, preacher\, singer\, and evangelist.  We explore her conviction to fully live the calling of religious life in an authentic way as an apologetically black woman while promoting intercultural awareness and advocating for racial reconciliation within the Catholic Church and beyond. \n9. Due Diligence in Vocation Ministry – Sr. Deborah Borneman\, SS.C.M.\, MDiv\, MA \nVocation ministers have the right to gather the data they need for due diligence in candidate assessment yet safeguard the candidate’s right to minimal intrusion. This workshop is designed to update participants on the trends\, best practices\, and challenges of contemporary vocation ministry. Using a case study approach\, participants will delve deeper into candidate issues that delay or preclude admission. Topics include the demographics to consider when inviting discerners and the latest research on newer members. \nThis will be a wonderful conference and the Planning Committee and the Board are delighted to welcome you to this exciting gathering. \nIf you have any questions\, feel free to contact: Sr Nancy Sullivan\, Executive Director of NAVFD at navfdco@gmail.com \nREGISTRATION FORM \nBROCHURE

SUMMARY:Webinar “Canada\, the Churches\, and Bill C-15”
DESCRIPTION:Information on the Federal Bill C-15 \nIn March 2016\, the Canadian Religious Conference (CRC)\, the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB)\, the Canadian Catholic Aboriginal Council\, and Caritas Canada – Development and Peace signed a joint declaration\, in answer to Call to Action 48 (CTA 48) of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. CTA 48 called on all faith groups in Canada to “formally adopt and comply with the principles\, norms\, and standards of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) as a framework for reconciliation.” The UNDRIP was passed by the United Nations General Assembly in 2007\, and the Holy See Permanent Observer to the UN has explicitly endorsed this Declaration on numerous occasions. \nOn December 3rd\, 2020\, the Honorable David Lametti\, Federal Minister of Justice\, introduced Bill C-15\, which would require the Government of Canada\, in consultation and cooperation with Indigenous peoples\, to take all measures necessary to ensure that the laws of Canada are consistent with the rights of Indigenous peoples set out in the UNDRIP. Bill C-15 reflects Bill C-262 and takes it further. C-262 had been introduced by NPD MP Romeo Saganash in 2016 and was adopted by a majority of federal MPs\, only to be blocked by Conservative Senators in 2019. \nThe support of Churches\, institutes of consecrated life and organizations who answered CTA 48 is requested for Bill C-15. In order to present in more detail the bill of law\, its consequences for Indigenous Peoples in Canada\, and its next steps\, you are invited to a webinar. \nFor more information : \n\nCatholic response to CTA 48: https://crc-canada.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Catholic-Response-Call-to-Action-48.pdf\nInformation and invitation to support Bill C-15: https://www.faithinthedeclaration.ca/\n\nThe webinar\nFebruary 18 at 7:00 pm (EST) there will be a learning event “Canada\, the Churches\, and Bill C-15” sponsored by “Faith in the Declaration”: A coalition of faith houses and organizations in support of UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples legislation. \nThe event will include conversation on why The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples legislation is important to Canadian churches. A panel of experts will describe Bill C-15\, the legislation the government of Canada is introducing to implement UNDRIP\, and explore the support and opposition to the Bill. \nPanelists\n \n\nPanel Moderator: Archbishop Mark MacDonald\, National Anglican Indigenous Bishop and WCC North American Vice-President;\n\n \n\nChief Wilton (Willie) Littlechild\, A Cree lawyer\, former member of Parliament and former Grand Chief of the Confederacy of Treaty Six First Nations\, former member of Parliament\, and Commissioner to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission;\n\n \n\nProfessor Sheryl Lightfoot\, Canada Research Chair in Global Indigenous Rights and Politics\, UBC Associate Professor: First Nations and Indigenous Studies and Political Science;\n\n \n\nEllen Gabriel\, Mohawk activist and artist from Kanehsatà:ke Nation – Turtle Clan\, spokesperson chosen by the People of the Longhouse during the Oka Crisis.\n\nThe event will be in English with simultaneous French translation. \nEvent time\nThursday\, February 18\, 2021 \n\n4:00-5:30 p.m.\, Pacific Standard Time (PST)\n5:00-6:30 p.m.\, Mountain Standard Time (MST)\n6:00-7:30 p.m.\, Central Standard Time (CST)\n7:00-8:30 p.m.\, Eastern Standard Time (EST)\n8:00-9:30 p.m.\, Atlantic Standard Time (AST)\n8:30-10:00 p.m.\, Newfoundland Standard Time (NST)\n\nREGISTRATION

SUMMARY:Webinar: "Beyond GDP: Reimagining Economics for our Common Home"
DESCRIPTION:Presentation\nThis webinar is the first part of the series From Crisis to Care: Reimagining Economics for our Common Home. The climate crisis and global pandemic have made it starkly clear that old economic ideas are not working. To chart a new future\, we need to challenge the accepted idea that economic growth and gross domestic product (GDP) should be key societal goals. How might we reimagine and reorient economics to focus on care for each other and the Earth\, our common home? \nThis webinar series explores key problems caused by a fixation on economic growth\, particularly growth as measured by Gross Domestic Product (GDP). \nThe climate crisis and global pandemic have made it starkly clear that current mainstream economic ideas are not working. To chart a new future\, we need to unlearn and transcend the accepted ideas that economic growth and gross domestic product (GDP) are what we should build our societies upon. \n\n\n\n\n\nGuest speaker \n\n\nDon’t miss this chance to hear Marilyn Waring\, world-renowned feminist\, former New Zealand politician\, author\, academic\, and activist for human rights and ecological issues. She will explore why growth in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) often results not in improvements to health and well-being\, but rather in greater ecological destruction and social inequality.\n\nRegistration (free event)\nREGISTER \nOrganizers\nAlternative Economics Working Group is part of the Ontario JPIC Lay Network and consists of four organizations: \n\nThe Jesuit Forum for Social Faith and Justice\nMinistry for Social Justice\, Peace\, and Creation Care with the Sisters of St. Joseph of Toronto\nJPIC office of the Sisters of Providence\nJPIC office of the Congregation of Notre Dame (Visitation Province).

SUMMARY:CICLSAL Presentation: “The Gift of Fidelity and the Joy of Perseverance”
DESCRIPTION:The Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life (CICLSAL) invites you to a presentation conference of the document: \nThe Gift of Fidelity and the Joy of Perseverance\n\nThis presentation will be held online on Thursday\, December 10\, 2020 (9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time) live from the Antonianum Auditorium (via Manzoni\, 1 – Rome). \nIt will be live streaming on Internet:  \n\nin English: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVQoL5H0pDw\nin French: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Glw6KT0_LQ\nin Spanish: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoQwo0kVjeI\nin Italian: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bh0DPzIHM5s\n\n \nPope Francis\, in the recent Encyclical Fratelli tutti\, invites us to dream together: “Here we have a splendid secret that shows us how to dream and to turn our life into a wonderful adventure. No one can face life in isolation… We need a community that supports and helps us\, in which we can help one another to keep looking ahead. How important it is to dream together…” (No 8). \nThe CICLSAL hopes that the presentation of this book will be a space to dream together of a more faithful\, joyful and persevering consecrated life. \nInformation: www.congregazionevitaconsacrata.va \nAbout\nThe Gift of Fidelity and the Joy of Perseverance is a document from the CICLSAL on the current difficulties of members and departures in Institutes of Consecrated Life as well as Secular Institutes. Its purpose is to elaborate and propose some indications regarding the accompaniment of sensitive situations\, but also to provide congregations with the norms of Canon Law and CICLSAL practices that must be respected in such situations. On a subject as delicate as leaving consecrated life\, it is important to offer both an attentive look and a sincere listening. Discernment of the person concerned\, of the accompanier and of the community is even more necessary than elsewhere.

SUMMARY:A Just Future for All Webinar: Resisting a democracy recession
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Tuesday\, November 24 at 2:00 pm (ET)\, as Fr. Xavier Jeyaraj\, SJ\, talks about the alarming transformation of democracy in the world with the election of authoritarian regimes into office. His presentation will focus on India\, the world’s largest democracy\, with parallels drawn with changes taking place in Latin America\, Asia\, Africa and North America. Fr. Xavier will also speak of how justice\, equality\, human rights\, and “development for all” are being redefined by authoritarian governments all over the world. \nWe are in a critical time today\, not simply because of COVID-19\, but because of the state of many democracies around the world. According to renowned scholar\, Larry Diamond\, “we have been going through a democracy recession” and the pandemic is “deepening and accelerating the recession.” \nWhile this trend is alarming\, we also find hope in the voices heard through public protest demanding alternative models of society. The courage of people\, particularly young people\, who oppose the democratically elected ‘dictators\,’ demanding a JUST FUTURE FOR ALL\, can lead to transformative changes for a future built on love\, equality and justice. \nThis webinar is co-sponsored by: \n\nCampion College at the University of Regina\nRegis College\, The Jesuit School of Theology at the University of Toronto\nSt Mark’s College at the University of British Colombia\nSt Paul’s College at the University of Manitoba\nUniversité de Sudbury/University of Sudbury\n\n \nREGISTER

Not only\, but we ourselves\, who have the first fruits of the Spirit\, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship\, the redemption of our bodies.” \nRomans 8:22-23 \n“… because of the exuberance of life and the longing to live; to express a passionate vision of the Earth\, and to seek an answer to the questions of my activity\, because I love the Universe\, its energies\, its secrets\, its hopes and because at the same time I am consecrated to God\, the only Origin\, the only End.”\nTeilhard de Chardin \nProgram\nMODULE 1 : Fundamental concepts of leadership\nLet us begin this journey together\, exploring some personal experiences of leadership and reaping the wisdom they offer. Let us become familiar with some fundamental concepts of leadership: role\, system\, purpose\, authority\, power… \nMODULE 2: There is no one way\, but we make our way when we walk \nWhat does it mean to exercise the leadership of consecrated life at this turbulent moment history\, in the world\, in the Church and in our congregations? \nMODULE 3: Weaving Communion\nAs leaders\, we are called to grow more and more in the capacity for dialogue\, non-violent communication\, managing difference in relationships\, generative listening… \nMODULE 4: For I know well the Spring that flows and runs\, although it is night \nHow is this leadership service that I live\, day by day; what is sacred space and transparency of encounter with God? \nMODULE 5: The poor teach us to read the gospel\nIn consecrated life\, can we be leaders and prophets at the same time? \nThe five Modules that make up this Program are full of questions. Our job will not be to respond to them\, but rather to develop an approach\, to acquire a mindset\, to integrate concepts that help us to explore them and to use them as a resource. \n \nSource: UISG
