In 1995 the first international gathering of women religious under the age of 50 took place in Greensburg, Pennsylvania. Inspired by that first gathering, Sisters of IHM have been gathering periodically to discuss issues of importance for their shared future.

Most recently Sisters gathered at the IHM Center to discuss models of leadership for the congregation. An article by Ted Dunn, Ph.D., Circular Models of Leadership: Birthing a New Way of Being, was used as a springboard for the discussion.

Following the discussion, the group joined the Sisters at Our Lady of Peace Residence for dinner.

The next gathering of IHM Forward is scheduled for March 7-9.
