Many Charisms, One Spirit, One Call: LCWR 70th Anniversary
The Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR’s) 70th anniversary gathering in Orlando brought more than 1,300 participants together under the theme “Many Charisms, One Spirit, One Call.” Across four days, participants celebrated the richness of religious life, listened deeply to one another, reflected on the Spirit’s call, and entered into meaningful conversations about the future. Through prayer, silence and conversation in the Spirit, they explored what it means to walk together in hope and communion.
The gathering also invited participants to confront the wounds of our world through the Jericho Walk of Lament and Hope, naming realities including racism, migration, violence, poverty, and the climate crisis – and responding by carrying lanterns of hope and committing to action. The celebration concluded by honoring 70 years of LCWR leadership and welcoming a new presidential leadership team: S. Debra Sciano, SSND, president; S. Betsy Pawlicki, OP, president-elect; and S. Vicky Larson, PBVM, past-president.
