Inspiration across Generations

Join Sr. Bonnie Kearney, RSCJ, and Loyola graduate Leila Jones as they explore the transformative power of intergenerational storytelling in ministry. Their connection, formed through LIM's Flourishing Sisterhood podcast project, demonstrates how sharing stories across generations enriches faith communities and strengthens ministry with young people. In this interactive session, participants will learn practical strategies for incorporating storytelling into their ministry work, fostering empathy, and building deeper relationships with young people while embracing a more synodal approach to faith. 

Intergenerational storytelling may also serve to engage diverse cultures, such as US Hispanic communities, where passing down faith and traditions plays a crucial role. By incorporating storytelling, those in ministry can honor cultural heritage, foster deeper connections across cultures, and create intercultural ministry practices. 

Light refreshments will be served.
