For 56 years, Catholic Volunteer Network (CVN) has been transforming individuals and communities through faith-based service and mission. We offer a range of experiences that empower volunteers and the people they support. You may be moved by the poverty you see in far-away lands or right in your own neighborhood. You may feel called to be a voice for peace and justice in a world plagued by systemic oppression. Perhaps you want to work on concerns such as climate change, illiteracy, food insecurity, or homelessness. CVN can help. CVN has more than 150 member programs – all of whom believe that service, discernment, and community make transformation possible. As a welcoming community rooted in faith and social justice, we understand the relationship between serving others and deepening your understanding of calling, purpose, and meaning. We welcome you to join the more than 250,000 volunteers who have served with our programs over the years, helping nearly 3 million people annually around the world. We can help you pursue questions about who you are becoming – and what you offer a world in need. But your commitment will not end with CVN. Faith-based service is just one step along your way to becoming a more spiritually-grounded leader who will use future roles to change the world for the better. A year of service will catalyze your journey of personal and professional growth. It will help you transform communities, yourself, and others – no matter where you work, live, or worship. I’m glad you have found RESPONSE. Please keep reading. Keep praying. Keep asking. Do whatever helps you answer your call. Let us know if we can help.

  • THE MARYKNOLL SOCIETY and the FUTURE a PROPOSAL William B
    THE MARYKNOLL SOCIETY AND THE FUTURE A PROPOSAL William B. Frazier MM As the third Christian millennium unfolds, Society members are well aware that our numbers are steadily declining. Regions are merging, promotion houses are closing, and efforts are being made to tighten the structures of leadership. The occasion of this paper is an awareness that another step may need to be taken to deal realistically with the situation in which we find ourselves today. Some Society-wide reflection needs to begin regarding the fu- ture of the Society as a whole. In addition to the measures now being taken to right-size and restructure ourselves, should there not be an effort to develop some contingency plans aimed at a time when we might be reduced to a to- ken presence in the countries and peoples we now serve and have such a step forced upon us? What follows is a pro- posal to get the membership thinking about the future of Maryknoll in terms that go beyond the internal adjusting currently under way. On every level of the Society we need to surface scenarios about the Society’s future in face of the possibil- ity of severely reduced membership. It is a matter of preparing ourselves in advance for a series of developments beyond our control, developments that will no longer yield to more and better intra-Societal adjustments. In order to put some flesh on these bones, let me present two scenarios that might be considered. Scenario #1 The Maryknoll Society would remain basically what it is at present and would learn to live and be produc- tive with relatively few permanent members.

Jack Morris, SJ Memorial Award 2 FALL 2014 Volume 59, Number 1 WHAT A DiffEREncE WE arE maKinG! "What's your impact*?" is the theme of this Jesuit Volunteer (JV) year. The asterisk adds: Show Up, Listen, Act, Reflect, Repeat. The theme represents a strong Ignatian tradition of "praxis," acted upon reflection, reflected upon action. We are asking the JVs to consider the effects of their year of service in both how they make an impact and how they are impacted. This edition of Focus will highlight some of the significant ways JVs and JV EnCorps members are making a difference for those with whom they serve. Our volunteers are important change-makers in the lives of those who experience marginaliza- Jeanne Haster tion and suffering. They are helping to build critical infrastructure and resources to increase the capacity of our partner agencies. They are engaging at-risk students and increasing academic performance. They are providing health care for those who otherwise would not be treated. And perhaps most significantly, our volunteers are creating social capital among the people they serve, instilling self-worth, dignity, care, concern, trust, empathy, and a sense of connection. Former JVs carry our four values of community, simple living, social and ecological justice, and spirituality in their hearts and are changing the world in all manner of ways.

  • Manżelství – Cesta Ke Svatosti
    Vítám tuto knihu, která v řadě medailonů ukazuje sku- tečné rodiny z nedávné doby, které v různých prostředích 40 a různých situacích dovedly jít po svaté cestě. Žádný z těch manželských párů není možné kopírovat. Každý z nich však může inspirovat. A.M.I.M.S. M. A.M.I.M.S. M. Mons. Jan Graubner Původně jsem hledala příklady pro laiky žijící v manželství, pro duchovní obnovy a později začal vycházet seriál Man- želství – cesta ke svatosti v časopise Rodinný život. Reakce mne přesvědčily, že je dobré dát lidem příklady manželů elé 20. století z moderní doby. V knize jsou zahrnuty jak manželské páry, ž tak jednotliví manželé, manželky – kandidáti svatosti. Ča- sové období je rok úmrtí 1950 a dále. Občas jsem udělala vatí man výjimku. Za každým medailonem jsou otázky či podněty S • k možnému přemýšlení, rozjímání, ideálně i společnému. Možná je nebudete potřebovat a položíte si jiné. V kaž- dém případě v životech svatých nejde jen o informace jako o fakta, ale mělo by jít o „in-formace“, o to, co do nás vstoupí a formuje nás.
