About UsPresentation ConnectionsConference of Presentation Sisters of North America
The Conference, which now includes eight communities, changed its name in 2003. An executive team guides the activities of the Conference and Julie French, an associate with the Fargo Presentation Sisters, serves as executive assistant for the group. Conference leaders meet at least once a year to advance the Presentation charism through prayer, discussion, future planning and joint projects. In 2005 the congregations came together at a Convergence in St. Paul, Minnesota. This was a wonderful time of sharing and planning for the future. The congregations of the Conference have also come together to sponsor a joint ministry endeavor in New Orleans, Louisiana, called Lantern Light.
