We feel infinitely blessed to have shared such a special weekend with the various CCVI ministry leaders who help build a better world for us all. Thank you for all the love and service you dedicate to your work!

Here is a reflection of this seminar from one of the participants, Jennifer Reyes Lay:

“It was a pleasure to attend the recent CCVI Winter Seminar for Ministry Leaders as the representative of the Congregational JPIC Office to share about our collective work for justice, peace, and creation and how it connects to our incarnational spirituality and charism.  I walked away from the seminar with a renewed inspiration and gratitude to collaborate with the Sisters and their Ministries to protect human dignity and care for our common home.

It was a wonderful opportunity to meet so many of our lay leaders of the ministries, to build relationships, and learn about the great work already going on.  I particularly enjoyed getting to experience the new Heritage Center exhibit and see how the many ministries have evolved over the years, and how we all have a role to play in incarnating God’s love to meet the needs of our world today.”

On the last day of the Seminar, ministry leaders were invited to light a candle and to always remember: “You are the light of the world”.
