Cultivating what’s possible

Dear NRVC Members, friends, and benefactors,

Grace, peace, and abundant hope to you!

In the spring of 2023, I humbly accepted the call to serve as your NRVC Board Chair. Following in the footsteps of Sr. Mindy Welding, I.H.M. and all those who have gone before, I hope to serve you and the NRVC mission with a listening heart as one who is open to the Spirit so that we might collaborate in cultivating what is possible.
We are entering an exciting time for the NRVC. We’ve reached the end of our 2018-2023 strategic plan, which had four goals:

Enhance collaborative efforts for engaging
the young Church in discerning and impacting the future of religious life
Provide resources, formation, and research to advance the field of vocation ministry,, assessment skills, and discernment to religious life
Increase the visibility and awareness of the NRVC to fulfill our mission
Create the organizational structure and financial model needed
to sustain and grow

These strategic goals have guided every initiative of the NRVC for the past five years.

When we gather next November for Convocation 2024, we will engage with one another about the path forward and how we will continue to cultivate hope and possibility.

It has been a full and blessed year. We now have the opportunity to take what we have learned, the ways we have grown, and our areas for further growth, and chart a new path forward together with and for you and for the larger Church. Please join me in offering thanks to our faithful God for the gifts of the year gone by and offering our hope-filled “yes” to what is to come.

Sister Nicole Trahan, F.M.I.
NRVC Board Chair
