In their wisdom-filled book, “Conversations at the Well: Emerging Religious Life in the 21st-Century Global World: Collaboration, Networking, and Intercultural Living,” Sisters Jung Eun Sophia Park, SNJM and Teresa Maya, CCVI explore the liminal and emerging spaces opening up to religious life today. Their contributions are a deepening reflection on and response to this period of change, transition and transformation.
RFC invites those wishing to take up these themes and discernment more intentionally to join us for the fall series of Ongoing Formation Circles. Utilizing topics drawn from “Conversations at the Well,” and focused on community living, the Circles will include monthly input from Sophia and focused small group discussion.
Ongoing Formation Circles: Fall 2025 Series
Building New Ways of Religious Life
We sense that God calls us to live a new way of religious life, which is deeply rooted in God's invitation to deepen love for the world through our consecrated life and living fully in community. It is imperative to converse with one another for our vocation. In these conversation circles, we will share insights on some of the aspects of community living as religious, the three vows, and leadership that we all are invited to, regardless of our ministries.
