FCJ Formation Meeting—Trimming the Sail

The sun shone on the FCJ Formation meeting held from 21 June – 2 July, 2006.   The theme, "Trimming the Sail" was seasonal for this time of year in this location.

Thirty-one FCJs joined general leadership for this gathering. It was a significant and life-giving event during which we attended to some of the important aspects of preservation and development of our Society.

Speakers included Margarita Byron fcJ, Mark Rotsaert, SJ from Belgium, Gemma Simmonds CJ from London, Mrs. Sue Pianta-Morrish from Dover, Ann Concannon, St. Louis Sister from Ireland.  Anne Murray, a St. Louis Sister from Ireland was the facilitator.

       theme of ‘trimming the sails’
