A Year of Listening & Learning 2024
We have completed our series of gatherings with Federation members. We had many fruitful conversations, received great feedback, and shared some exciting ideas. We are beginning to implement and integrate them in our activities and future plans.
Thank you for helping to shape the future of the Federation!
About the year
In June 2023, the Franciscan Federation announced 2024 A Year of Listening & Learning to offer members the opportunity to voice their aspirations and desires for the Federation. As the Transformation Process has come to completion, the National Board and Staff view the input of our members as vital to the ongoing growth and development of the Federation.
Keynote Speaker
As part of each Listening & Learning session there was a keynote presentation by Br. Michael Perry speaking to the Federation about times of transition and transformation from a Franciscan perspective. Michael served as the General Minister of the OFMs during the beginning of the process of merging the provinces in the United States. He speaks to us from a deep place of knowing and experience when it comes to transformation!
