LCWR 2021

Horizons – Can I make space for uncertainty? For imagination? For uncomfortable moments? Mistakes? Hope? Joy? I pray for the freedom to be hospitable to the emerging future already present among us.

Sr. Rebecca Ann Gemma of the Dominican Sisters of Springfield, Illinois, officially became the president-elect of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious on Aug. 13.

The Leadership Conference of Women Religious' annual assembly was Aug. 11-13 and was as much a retreat as a meeting. Catch up on Global Sisters Report's coverage of the talks and presentations.

Encountering sisters who were younger and older has truly enriched my life as a woman religious. We all share the same vocational call, and we express it through our particular charisms. This was a personal aha experience for me and one that I will continue to nurture for the remainder of my life.
