Founding member of NRVC dies

The staff and members of NRVC extend condolences to the religious community, family, and friends of Sister Jeanne Schweickert, O.S.F., who died August 19 in Chicago.

Sister Jeanne was the executive director of the National Conference of Religious Vocation Directors (NCRVD) from 1984-88. She oversaw the merging of the NCRVD with the National Sisters Vocation Conference (NSVC), which resulted in the creation of the National Religious Vocation Conference (NRVC)  in 1988.

Sister Jeanne shared her religious life with the School Sisters of St. Francis for 61 years. Her passion for vocation ministry and outreach to the poor and those who suffer from AIDS were hallmarks of her religious life. May she rest in peace.
