Mission Alive!

Canadians and Americans participated in this year’s Mission Alive! program. This program usually attracts several Brazilians, but they were unable to attend because of the terrible May floods in the Rio Grande do Sul area (southern Brazil). This very serious group of leaders in health care ministries sought to understand and process the charism of the Sisters of St. Joseph in order to continue the Sisters’ legacy in their organizations. They will undoubtedly succeed! Sr. Dolores Clerico, director of the program is a Philadelphia Sister of Saint Joseph (USA) with ministry experience in the academic, parish, diocesan, and congregational arenas. She is a frequent speaker, workshop presenter, and retreat facilitator for sisters, associates, and partners in mission throughout the United States. She was the first program director at the Centre, which she has done since 2007.
