SJC REGIONAL ASSEMBLY
September 18– 21, 2023
Holy Spirit Retreat Center
Encino, California
Our Cluny Region gathered to prepare for the 2024 General Chapter. The focus of our work from February to May, 2023 was a personal and community EVALUATION of our Missionary Priorities 2018 and a Reflection on the Deep Story of the Congregation, our Communities and each Sister. Those moments of ‘explosions of grace’ in our stories.
The Missionary Priorities of 2018 - 2024
- Being Credible Witnesses to our Religious Consecrated Life
- Missionary Disciples, let us go forth
- Going Forward Together, collaborating for Mission
The Deep Story Reflection
This is a reflection of our charism which is born anew in an ‘explosion of grace’ every time the Deep Story of the congregation and the needs of the times come together. The initial ‘explosion’ of the charism continues to evolve as do the many needs of our time. We are not about ‘preserving our charism’ but about ‘reinventing’ the charism anew in our time in the Spirit Energy of God and our Foundress, Blessed Anne Marie Javouhey.
Each day of the Assembly we came together for Prayer and Contemplative Silence. We also had two Masses during the four days of Assembly.
We are grateful to Fr. Marinello Saguin and Fr. Danny Guinto for celebrating with us.
Sister Anncarla Costello, SND, Chancellor of the Los Angeles Archdiocese, facilitated the work of the Assembly which included:
Reflections on Religious Life
Intercultural Living Part I & II
Sister Genevieve’s Province Report
Mission priorities, sustaining the passion of charism, visioning together
Raising ‘proposals’ for the General Chapter Assembly in 2024
Closing Ritual of Blessing and Missioning
Special thank you to our Assembly Secretary, Anne Lobsinger, for her time and her presence with us.
