Dear all beloved CLC members
On behalf of our national formation team, I send you our prayers and best wishes for a year that brings you the blessings of good health and peace. The past 3 years brought enormous challenges, changes and adaptations to the way of life that we knew. Some experienced the loss of loved ones, health issues for ourselves, financial losses, employment losses and challenges, and all of us experienced huge changes in our way of life. Our beloved CLC could not escape those changes and impact. For most of 2020 no groups could physically meet, some could manage some online gatherings, some via WhatsApp, some lost members, and all struggled. We thank God that so many of our members continued to experience the loving presence of God with us, near us in the difficult times. For many the gift of CLC, the growing awareness of God’s loving presence with us in good and bad times carried us through.
The desire of the formation team is to give you, our members, an opportunity to continue the discovery, or rediscover the grace and joy of encountering the presence of God in our daily lives. To help us come up with a relevant growth, or formation programme we are asking you to complete the attached short questionnaire to help us get a picture of where our members are in this new year. For those members who would prefer to respond to the questionnaire on GOOGLE FORMS, please use the following link:

As we begin this journey let me introduce the formation team. The work on formation was severely disrupted by covid, and then in 2022 World CLC hosted a Global Formation Encounter in Manresa and I was given the opportunity to attend. I am so excited to really re-energise our formation programme and there is a great team ready and willing to work on this crucial aspect of CLC.
The team is me, as co-ordinator, Kaye Henrick, and the experienced and enthusiastic members Sabie Makgothi, Jill Mckay, Colleen Callahan, Mandy Jones, and Clara Klitsie.Our desire is to serve you and facilitate you in discovering the beauty, joy and value of our CLC way of life.
By the way, there are no right or wrong answers to the questionnaire. Every answer, from every person, however short or long time in CLC is important. We would also like members with whom you are in contact but are not currently attending meetings to complete the questionnaire and return it to us.
We value your responses and would appreciate your response by 15 February 2023.
Kaye and team
