For years, Loretto has said: "Community is for mission, mission is for
community." This May, we will share our own stories and experience of
what mission/work has meant in our lives: what work we have done and are
doing -- and how this work has supported our commitment to Gospel
living.
This 3-day conference is a chance for participants to reflect on their own work and mission and the work and mission of the Loretto Community. It will include:
What is the Mary Rhodes Award? It's a prize given to honor someone who works for justice and equality for women. The first Mary Rhodes Award ceremony was in 1981, started by the Loretto Women’s Committee, later to become the Loretto Women’s Network. It was in response to the desire to honor women who worked for women’s rights during a time that the country was debating the Equal Rights Amendment. This year's Mary Rhodes Award will be presented on Friday evening, May 6.
This should be a jam-packed long weekend of reflection and fun, and will be a nice way to connect with the sisters and co-members you may know.
