  • To suggest some “next best steps” for moving forward

What is an LCWR Assembly?

Every August, LCWR holds a national assembly of its members. This gathering provides members with opportunities for education, reflection on issues pertinent to religious life leadership, networking, prayer and celebration. The assembly also provides time for the members to vote for officers and on resolutions.

The assemblies are open to members who may participate fully in all aspects of the assembly, associates who participate without vote, and guests invited by the conference.

The assembly is moved to various sites around the country.
