NRVC CONVOCATION 2012 - Vocation Ministers as Ambassadors for Christ:  A Reconciling Presence

November 1 - 5, 2012
Marriott Hotel at Legacy Town Center
Plano, TX

Using St. Paul's image from II Corinthians, this convocation will reinforce the truth that vocation ministers serve not only as ambassadors for their religious institutes, but for the Church and for all of religious life. Vocation directors in a unique way become "bridge builders" with the Church, their religious institute, and their new members and strive to bring about unity, understanding, and reconciliation amongst all concerned parties so that religious life may move into the future with vibrant faith and hope.

We invite vocation ministers, religious leadership, formation directors, communication directors, and all those who share responsibility and concern for future membership in religious life to attend this convocation. Through the input of our keynote speakers, diverse workshops, theological reflection, and celebrations of Mass and common prayer, we will be inspired to be Ambassadors for Christ: A Reconciling Presence to a new generation of women and men religious.

Archbishop Joseph William Tobin, CSsR
