Religious life today is a global witness to the transformative power of relationships. Following the mission of Jesus, we endeavor to cultivate authentic relationships of inclusivity and trust. We seek meaning and understanding. We hold space for what is essential and what is emerging. We are all collaborative leaders, creating our future together. At HOPE 2025, the global sisterhood will gather to explore our life, our future, and our gifts. Join us in HOPE as we listen, dream, and transform our capacity as leaders.
