Something to Think About

“Religious experience is an essential dimension of the human person. Without it, it is difficult, if not impossible, to bring about the purification of the heart necessary for building peaceful relationships.” 


 (Pope Leo XIV Address to members of the diplomatic corps, May 16, 2025.)

AFTER TEAM VISIT

Leadership Conference of Women Religious 
Hope Unbroken – Journeying in God’s Promise


Approximately 850 women, associates, ministry colleagues, and guests will gather in Atlanta, GA August 12-15 for the annual Leadership Conference of Women Religious. This year’s theme, Hope Unbroken – Journeying in God’s Promise, will take time to share and reflect on what it means to bearers of hope in this troubled world of uncertainty, suffering and change. 


Keynote speakers include Kathy Brazda, CSJ, LCWR president, Simona Brambilla, MC, prefect of the Dicastery for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life, and James Martin, SJ, editor at large at America Media. In addition there will be panel presentations about staying grounded in leadership and the call to work for healing in our world.

This year’s Outstanding Leadership Award goes to Sr. Mary Pat Garvin, RSM, who serves as an educator, consultant, and facilitator for national and international institutes and conferences of religious.



A highlight of the meeting will be a contemplative walk through the streets of Atlanta – a Pilgrimage of Hope. The energy and spirit in the large gathering room during talks, and table sharing, is uplifting and uniting. Being together as leaders and partners in leadership strengthens the feeling of being one large, religious community coming together to witness and carry forth the work of the gospel message of love and compassion. Creating new relationships, renewing friendships and sharing stories of congregational experiences is bringing the life of Jesus alive and being surrounded by God’s love.
