OSP/IHM Celebration-July 10-13
Dear IHM Sisters and Associates,
We are eagerly awaiting our OSP/IHM celebration entitled, Amplifying Our Share Charism, from July 10-12, 2025. The event will be held online, and participation options will include those listed below. We will conclude our celebration with a liturgy held in the chapel of the IHM Center on July 13. For those outside of the Scranton area, a livestream link is provided below. The description of the days together is as follows.
Welcome to “Amplifying Our Shared Charism,” a gathering dedicated to celebrating and deepening the unique spirit that unites us as religious sisters. Together, as we explore how to revitalize and express our charism in today’s world, may we foster renewed commitment and collaborative action within and among us. May this be a time to ignite the flame of our shared calling and strengthen our OSP/IHM collective influence.
