Special Session for Spiritual Advisors
Our Council Spiritual Advisor, Deacon Ronnie San Nicolas, will lead a special session:
Reimagining Vincentian Spirituality with the Holy Face of Jesus
Spiritual Advisors will have the opportunity to reflect on Vincentian spirituality and explore ways to deepen their spiritual role within their Conferences.
