This conference and its theme "Called to Relationship - Widening the Embrace"  is shaping up to be an exciting, stimulating and must-attend event for associates, sisters, and others interested in this growing movement.

Anne Walsh, Redemptorist associate from Newfoundland, will break open this theme and provide plenty of grist for the conversation mill !   Her style as an intelligent and energetic speaker and facilitator is well known and we are thrilled she will be among us.

Presentation Associate Newsletter Celebrates Strength of Growing Movement

"A new moment of widening our tents" !

___________
Submitted by:  Carmelita Pittman & Ruth O'Reilly, pvbm


The Presentation Sisters of Newfoundland and Labrador recently published their second newsletter bursting with news of their growing associate movement. 

In it, Sister Sharon Fagan, Congregational Leader, writes:

As we come to the end of the year 2013 we look back with gratitude for the blessings we have shared.  In particular, we give thanks for the new associates who were welcomed from across the island during the Fall.   It is a new moment of widening our tents and deepening our relationships with one another for the sake of the whole earth community .
Twenty-five men and women were welcomed as Presentation associates this Fall with celebrations in St John's, Corner Brook and Grand Falls -Windsor.
