Intercommunication Sources Network

One of the goals of the “Core Group”, of the Intercommunication Sources Network is:

"To encourage and motivate a network of sharing among the
Archives, , Sources, the Mother House, Spirituality Centers,
and personal initiatives related to our Sources."

The first goal and main objective of the network is to encourage and assist in making the Sources known in the different parts of the Institute. At the present moment, this communication Network is formed with a sister of each Province/Region, nominated by The Provincial/Regional Superior. The task of these sisters is to receive, select and distribute Sources material in her Province/Region.

This is a way of sharing and, no doubt, it will be a way of animating and promoting our life and mission.
