Based on the surveys from the Strategic Plan, the National Enrichment Program (NEP) began to look at the needs of the Order. The National Enrichment Program offerings are:

ABOUT NEP
| | The National Enrichment Program (NEP) officially began in 2015 when National Council members identified the need for focused attention on the formation of Daughters across the country. In
the years since, attention has been primarily given to the development
of leadership programs especially at the diocesan assembly and chapter
levels. Since the 2018 Triennial National Convention, the NEP committee paused to pray and renew its commitment to provide for the formation of Daughters as members and leaders. This pause helped the committee discern the need for new modules to assist and support Daughters. Many Daughters have worked hard to develop the content listed below and there will be more to come. PURPOSE
- VISION: The vision of the National Enrichment Program is to encourage, enrich, equip, and empower all Daughters to do the work that God has called them to do.
- MISSION: The mission of the National Enrichment Program is to promote the formation of strong, spirit-filled women by identifying and developing resources Daughters can use to fulfill their vows of prayer and service.
- OUR GUIDING VERSE:
- “Do not call to mind the former things or ponder things of the past. Behold I will do something new…” Isaiah 43:18-19a (NASB)
- OUR GUIDING PRAYER: (written by Nancy Severin, Past National President)
- Come
Holy Spirit, sweep through our lives, scattering the dust of former
things, clearing our hearts and minds of past ponderings – of ancient
musings. Manifest anew in us, releasing the purity of the Spirit that is
our journey. As we embrace this coming newness, we will not fear the
change that will surely attend it. We
will, with God’s help, rejoice in the evolving creativity as the
perfect design for all of life. Blessed Spirit, we invite You into our
groundwork, asking for guidance and the love that is the wellspring of
all faith and hope. Come Holy Spirit! The time is Here! Behold. Amen.
