Contemplative Sisters Meet In New Jersey
The Association of Contemplative
Sisters (ACS), founded in 1969 as a
national non-profit organization for
contemplative women of prayer, held its
Sixth National Assembly at Xavier
Center, Convent Station, New Jersey,
July 2nd - 8th.
In the almost ten years of its
existence, the Association has included
members from Canada as well as the
United States and is presently attracting
the attention and interest of
contemplative women in many various
parts of the world. A future forecast
sees this organization becoming an
international association embodying
both the ancient monastic traditions in
the Church as well as new forms of
contemplative living.
This international dimension was
visible at the recent Assembly in New
Jersey by including among the
participants Sister - observers from
Venezuela and France.
A further thrust toward an
international vision was evidenced by
the affirmation of this Assembly to
consider sponsoring or co-sponsoring,
with other Federations and/or
Associations around the world, an
international colloquium on prayer in
the not-too-distant future. For the past
few years, Sister Cecilia Wilms of
Spokane, Washington has been officially
filling the role of international liaison
between European contemplatives and
the ACS. Contemplative women from
South America, Philippines, Taiwan,
England, Belgium, France and Italy have
also been in correspondence with ACS
members and receive the ACS
Newsletter.
Other invited guests present at the
Assembly Included: Rev. Segundo
Galilea, a Chilean pastoral theologian;
Rev. Jean Leclercq, OSB of Louvain
presently at Fordham University in New
York; Miss Eileen Eagen from the
Catholic Worker; Rev. Thomas Berry,
CP of the Riverdale Research Center in
New York and Sister Amadeus
McKevitt, OSU, Associate Vicar for
Religious in New York.
Sister Carol Sachse, OCD
represented the Carmelite Communities
Associated and Sister Francis Clare

Poor Clares.

New York was elected President of the
Association replacing Sister Lilia Marie
Hull, MM of The Cloister, Mary knoll,

OCD of Reno, Nevada replaces Sister
