Some of the WPC congregations have taken this survey and might be interested in this Event happening February 15, 2022 via Zoom.  See information below.

Thanks to responses from more than 1,100 sisters spanning three generations, a recent survey explored the experiences of Catholic sisters in their ministries and found that “ministry satisfaction is an essential aspect of sisters’ life commitment to God, their community, and the charism of religious life,” according to a press release.

Marian Diaz and Divine Providence Sr. Maria Clara Kreis, who conducted the study, will host a free Zoom event at 4 p.m. Central time Feb. 15 to dive deeper into the survey results and their implications.

The event, “Factors for Thriving in Ministry among Catholic Sisters: Exploring Results from the Life-Satisfaction Scale for Apostolic Women Religious,” is sponsored by Wisdom Ways Center for Spirituality, a ministry of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet of St. Paul, Minnesota. Diaz is the director of Wisdom Ways.

The hourlong conversation invites participants to “engage in a mutually enriching discussion of how these results can inform efforts to transition religious life into a viable and vital future,” according to the event invitation.
