A Planning Process for the Religious Formation Conference has begun.

Work on this initiative, funded by the GHR Foundation, has begun. A first step was to establish a Steering Committee which will “advise the Conference in the design, implementation, and evaluation of a comprehensive strategic planning and governance design process.” The Steering Committee is composed of Jennifer Gordon, SCL (RFC member congregation; former Board member), Marie McCarthy, SP (LCWR Associate Director of Programs), James Paradis, OSA (RFC Board member), Carol Regan, SUSC (RFC staff), Corrina Thomas, FSPA (RFC member congregation; current RFC program participant), and Ellen Dauwer, SC, RFC Executive Director, and Susan Weber, facilitator.The Committee held an introductory meeting via Zoom and will hold its first full meeting October 21-22 in Chicago.
