Perhaps I am a bit prejudiced because I was part of the planning committee, and I stood before the assembly speaking more times than I can count, but I came away from the recent National Assembly on such a “high” that it may be days before my feet touch the ground! Let me reminisce.
Our Best Practices Panel focused on By-Laws, Junior Ladies of Charity, Advocacy and the Vincentian Lay Spiritual Moderator Program. (A copy of that power point is posted on this website: click here to download Best Practices 2017) Nine women were commissioned as Lay Vincentian Spiritual Moderators! Our business meeting included a resolution for LCUSA to support the DACA (DREAMers) bill currently in the Senate and the House of Representatives. The resolution was adopted with overwhelming approval from those assembled.
Remember – our next assembly will be in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania from September 21 – 22, 2018. Please plan to attend. We are nothing without you.
One thought on “The 2017 LCUSA Assembly Was Nourishing, Challenging and Joyful!”
The 400th Anniversary Celebration was wonderful. It was well planned, informative as well as inspirational. Thank you.
