Aspirants and Candidates who are starting their path to credentialed ministry after age 50 make up about 25% of our MFN community. If you are looking for companionship and commiseration, this is the gathering for you! We’ll hear from colleagues who have found meaningful vocations as religious leaders when life circumstances and callings meant attending seminary after years away from schooling, as well as CPE scheduling while still juggling jobs, family, and community obligations!
