Letter to Members: Invitation to Vocations Forum
Join our online Vocations Forum on 15 October to share experiences, ideas and explore how CoREW can best support vocations to Religious Life going forward.
Dear Members,
Following changes within the National Office for Vocation (NoV), the Religious Life Promoter role has come to an end, and the Bishops’ Conference is now undertaking a review of the National Office for Vocation.
CoR remains very conscious of the importance of supporting and encouraging vocations to Religious Life, and we are considering how we can best continue to support this work within the limited resources available to us.
As part of this, we are in contact with the regional vocations groups and are working with them to consider how CoR can best support this important area of work going forward. CoR has very limited financial resources which significantly limits our ability to fund anything substantial unless other sources of income can be identified.
We also know that many of our members have Sisters, Brothers and Priests who are actively involved in vocations work, and we would very much value their experience and ideas.
We are therefore inviting members to join an online Vocations Forum on Thursday 15 October, from 10am–11.30am, led by Sr Mary Deane PBVM, a member of the CoR Executive.
The forum will provide a space to hear from those involved in vocations work, share experiences and ideas, and consider together how CoR might best support this important area going forward.
We recognise that this invitation is being sent primarily to congregational leaders and that you may not personally be involved in vocations work. We would therefore be very grateful if you could forward this invitation to the appropriate people within your congregation who are involved or interested in vocations.
Please register for the forum using the Zoom link below. Once registered, you will receive the joining details directly: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/hn8YSGOQT0yn_95r0TlYcg.
We very much hope you, or those involved in vocations work within your congregation, will be able to join us.
With many thanks and best wishes,
CoREW Secretariat
