We’re excited to share with constituents this 2025 Gratitude Report, highlighting the work of the RFC and the many ways that we – together – are attending to the now and new of religious life and formation ministry.
A few highlights from last year include:
- In March, RFC partnered with Saint Luke Institute to offer a virtual symposium, “Reviving the Crushed Spirit: Trauma-Aware Ministry.” Recordings are available for a nominal fee.
- Also in March, the Conference launched a new program, Ongoing Formation Circles. Funds from the 2024 annual appeal supported this project, which was offered free to participants.
- Over the summer, RFC participated in a project with the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) to offer “Walking the Path of Synodality in the Footsteps of Saint Francis.” Materials and session recordings are available on the LCWR and RFC websites for free.
- This past October, the 2025 Congress—Pilgrims of Hope, Prophets of Light—was held in Indianapolis October 23-25. Congress welcomed 61 congregations and 13 partners-in-mission. Among them were 55 first-time attendees.
Because of you, the Conference continues to respond to signs of the times, being communities of courageous hope and abundant love in a fractured world.
We invite you to review the report and learn more about what we accomplished together in 2025. To all those who gave so generously of their time, talent, and treasure: thank you. We are grateful for your support.
