Nearly 800 people are expected to fill an Orlando, Florida, conference center to answer the question of what Catholic sisters are called to be in the current times.

The Leadership Conference of Women Religious holds its annual assembly Tuesday-Friday (Aug. 13-16), bringing together more than 500 LCWR members and guests from other organizations serving religious life, leaders from other countries, and lay leaders that work for congregations of sisters. LCWR represents about two-thirds of the nearly 36,000 women religious in the United States.
