Mission Committee's First Meeting
|
The Committee held its first meeting at the Federation Office
on March 29, 2004.
During the first part of the day-long meeting the members
spent time in prayer and reflection, focusing on the mission
directives of our respective congregations and the more recently
developed Mission Statement of our Canadian Federation.
With Sister Margaret Kanes facilitation some time
was given to re-viewing and absorbing the implications of
this Mission Statement for the Sisters of St. Joseph of Canada.
Particular emphasis was placed on the goal and objectives
developed last October by the Federation Board for implementing
the Mission Statement.
Following a brief overview of the Federation restructuring
process that led to the Committees formation, the group
spent the bulk of the day brainstorming ways in which they
could best support leadership and the congregations in making
the goal and objectives work.
From a wide spectrum of long and shorter range initiatives
the group settled on one immediate project that could be of
assistance to the Federation in their current planning process
for the October meeting. You will be hearing from your representative
on the Committee in the very near future as they begin to
involve us all in empowering one another to live passionately
our mission of active and inclusive love.
