Members of the Order visit Seek26 in Fort Worth, Texas
January 17, 2026
Can men and women be friends? Of course! The world can be very confusing, but the Gospel is clear: We are called to be brothers and sisters, and to enjoy the complementary of men and women as a reflection of God and as a gift for the world.
Sr. Diane and Fr. John spoke at SEEK26 (breakout session) and tried to offer wisdom from the monastic tradition about men and women relating as brother and sister. May everyone who attended be blessed by God through what they heard! And may we all know the delights of true fraternity and friendship!
