March 8-14 National Catholic Sisters Week

The 2016 National Catholic Sisters Week (NCSW) takes place March 8-14. Organizers expect more than 124 events to commemorate the week. For details on how people are celebrating and resources for marking the week, go to nationalcatholicsistersweek.org.

NRVC collaborated with NCSW to create "Movie Night in a Box" to present to the 50 best College Newman Centers in the United States. (See them here.)

NRVC donated 50 copies of its DVD "Religious Life: Absolutely Millennial!" to the boxes, which included popcorn and candy, along with a letter and stat sheet on vocations to religious life. The invitation letter invited campus ministers to show the video and have a discussion during National Catholic Sisters Week.

This targeted approach is a new outreach to Catholic college students at public universities that have active and publicly recognized Newman Centers to learn more about vocations. This video, along with other NRVC resources, can be purchased at nrvc.net.
