Sister M. Carolina Pardo will join 250 Sisters under the age of 65 on June 3-7, 2025, in Rome at Fraterna Domus Sacofano Retreat Center for a program hosted by the Leadership Collaborative. The theme is: Hope 2025. The purpose of the gathering is to “explore the current and emerging realities of religious life and concretely experience the gift of the global sisterhood as we connect, celebrate, and lead together.”
As Sisters prepare for this event, we ask for your prayers that their hearts are courageous, their fears are dispelled, their spirit is nourished, and their journeys are safe. For more information, go to www.thelc.global. They also ask that you pray the following prayer for the attendees.
