Sisters from the Congregation's monasteries came together in “Thinktank” groups to get to know each other better and to discover common interests. Encouraged by the opportunity to meet on zoom, they discuss some topics, and sometimes their thoughts become relevant to the whole Congregation. Members of the Congregation can easily join those groups as they wish.
