As was previously announced, Winnie Odo will be completing her mandate as co-coordinator in the East in June.

Sisters and associates who may be interested and feel called to discern the possibility of becoming a co-coordinator, or would like to nominate someone who is eligible, is reminded to submit names to Sr. Nina Glinski (nglinski@cnd-m.org) by February 28, 2015. We ask that you keep in prayer those who are considering offering their name to be part of the discernment process.

Peace and blessings during Lent!

"Source of Living Water," a retreat prepared by Marie Azzarello, CND and Rachel Gaudreau, CND, will invite us in the midst of our busy lives to rest awhile in the centre of our being.

Many sisters and associates in Atlantic Canada are thankful for the vibrant network that ARCAN has become over the years.

At the last ARCAN Regional Conference Sr. Margie Gillis, SC, shared an overview of ARCAN. These are some excerpts from her presentation:

“ARCAN owes a measure of gratitude to foundresses, Alma MacLellan, CND and Peg Madigan, CND Associate. Twelve years ago, when they came up with the idea, it was new, it was a risk. As with most things of this sort, one usually doesn’t realize its significance or future value, until much later. It is rather interesting, perhaps even prophetic, that the original committee members chose the word ‘networking’ to describe this new Atlantic wide accumulation of sisters and associates.”

Upon hearing of this “seed of new life” that Alma and Peg planted many years ago, I felt gratitude for their inspiration and the courage to pursue this dream. May ARCAN continue to grow and deepen in its mission and vision of Associate Relationship. http://arcantheleadingedge.blogspot.ca
