In the Spotlight
Dear Sisters in Christ,
This morning, Aly Tugaoen, our Director of Forum, and I did something I had never done before. We recorded an episode of the Archdiocese for the Military Services’ podcast Catholic Military Life all about Forum!
It was great fun to chat with the host, Taylor Henry, about Forum 2022 and his questions were perfect because they really made us think about how to describe Forum to someone who has maybe never heard of it, or of MCCW.

(If you want to give it a listen, you can find our episode here.)
This issue of The Well is similar – our team wrote articles this month covering everything from ways to help with the Forum liturgies to how to nominate outstanding Catholic women for a special award, from a sneak peek at plans for our auction to details about the new things we’ve added to Forum this year. You will also:
- Meet a newly ordained priest who will join us at Forum to share his experience in the AMS Co-Sponsored Seminarian Program
- Read a welcome letter from one of our keynote speakers, Father Eric Albertson, who is also MCCW’s newly appointed Spiritual Moderator
- Find ways YOU can help spread the word about Forum
- Learn how you can begin discerning a call to serve MCCW
This month’s The Well is jam-packed with information about Forum 2022. Read on and make your plans to attend this fantastic reunion event – we want to see you there!
Yours in Christ,
Kim
