We are thankful for those who participated in the Recollection on Permanent Commitment last February 17. For those who were not able to attend the recollection or wish to review it, you can watch the Commitment Recollection Recording: bit.ly/feb17OurReturnofLovetoGod-YouTube

For those who feel called to discern a Permanent Commitment, here are the next steps:

2) Co-Discern with Your Community and Guide: Remember that we pray and discern both personally and communally (GP#5). Please be sure to co-discern with your local community and Guide for clarity and confirmation of your loving response to God's loving invitation, and what steps you are called to take to journey towards permanent commitment.

 

3) Individual Consultation: If you wish to be accompanied for the next steps of the discernment process, and you feel that there is a need for individual consultation, please feel free to email us at [email protected].
