Many religious institutes have embraced and supported charism carriers — the lay associates, family members, and friends of the order who collaborate in their mission, charism, and ministries. When so much in religious life is changing, the relationship between religious institutes and charism carriers is no different. As religious institutes and charism carriers plan for the future, what important elements should leaders consider?
On July 11, 2026, Ohio-Pennsylvania Associate Leadership (OPAL) invited Sister Mary Pellegrino, CSJ, and Anna Sklut of Plante Moran Realpoint to help answer that important question by exploring five keys to successful planning:
- Shared understanding
- Relationships between religious institutes and their charism carriers
- Careful discernment and clarity of values
- Generativity and sustainability
- Recognize that this is a culture change process
