Learn how family life impacts candidates

Summer workshop


Do you wonder how family issues play themselves out in candidates to religious life?  What should you understand? What questions should you ask?

Father Gerard McGlone, S.J., Ph.D. is the presenter for the workshop on family of origin issues.

In the NRVC Summer Institute workshop "The Assessment of Family of Origin Issues for Candidates to Religious Life," to be held in Chicago July 29-31, Father Gerard McGlone, S.J., Ph.D. will examine these questions and more.

Family of origin concerns often present landmines for vocation and formation personnel. These issues can sabotage the individual and the community’s health and well-being if left unaddressed. A principal objective of this workshop is to help vocation ministers formulate specific and appropriate questions, which, when answered, may inhibit or exclude candidacy.

The format will be within an adult learning methodology. The workshop is designed to be highly interactive, with ample time for individual and group processing, discussion of specific cases, using the very latest research and theory on this topic.

The presenter, Father Gerard J. McGlone, S.J., Ph.D., was ordained in 1987 as a Jesuit priest of the Maryland Province of the Society of Jesus, he was a clinical and research fellow at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. He was an assistant professor at Georgetown University, School of Medicine, the Department of Psychiatry. He has been a psychotherapist in many settings and is a speaker, presenter, author, and consultant with the USCCB, CMSM, dioceses, and religious orders throughout the Americas and Europe.
