About a dozen CLC members from CLC-USA and four from CLC-Canada recently assisted in the training over 250 Facilitators and Note-takers in preparation for the upcoming parish and school Synod listening sessions. The Trenton Diocese training program was created and led by Prof. Bob Choiniere of Fordham University who is a CLC member at St. Francis Xavier parish in NYC, with assistance from Christine Cichello of Boston College CLC and Ann Marie Brennan of Metro NY CLC. The training focused on how to faciltate and take-notes during a parish listening session that is based on Spiritual Conversations...a way of sharing the fruits of prayer and listening that was used by St. Ignatius and his companions and continues to be used throughout the Ignatian family and especially in CLC groups.
