Last year, the Sisters of Perpetual Adoration identified a need to support the work of Religious Institutes across Australia in their considerations about moving towards completion. The Sisters of Perpetual Adoration then decided to bring Amy Hereford CSJ, Canon lawyer to Australia to assist Religious Institutes. CRA has also been receiving queries about options that may be available to Religious Institutes moving towards completion.
As a result, the Sisters of Saint Joseph, the Sisters of Perpetual Adoration and CRA are joining together to hold a 2 day, in-person event to Explore Completion and Beyond.
