Embracing The New Reality 2016-2017
As we continue to live our five-year plan (2015-2020) we are keenly aware of the challenges before us and the opportunities for new life and new ways of being. As we embark on this journey of preserving our mission and identity through sponsorship of our institutions, and through our commitment to deepen our communion with one another and God through our vowed life, we trust that God is with us and that our efforts will be blessed.
