2026 Annual MAC Gathering recap

Our recent MAC Gathering at the Carmelite Spirituality Center in Darien, Illinois, successfully combined productivity and fun as member area coordinators gathered to learn, pray, and share meals while planning for the future and envisioning new ways of better serving our beloved NRVC members.

Just a few highlights include preparing for Convocation, collecting and donating stuffed animals to charity in honor of St. Francis, daily Mass in the Carmelite Chapel, the most difficult puzzle of all time courtesy of Sr. Debbie, a delicious trip to the Rainbow Cone, and trying Cowboy cookies!

Thank you to everyone who participated, and we look forward to being together again soon!
