Henri Nouwen Society 2020 Annual Report

Thank You for Being Part of Our Community!

Henri’s words shine a light in the darkness. For all of us, 2020 was a year like none other in our memories. In mid-March, the World Health Organization  declared a global COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, more than 3 million people have died. We grieve for the lives lost and for those who mourn the deaths of their beloved ones. Since the pandemic took hold, we have been moved by messages telling us how vital Henri’s words have been. Whether it’s through our free Daily Meditations, podcasts, webinars, social media posts, or correspondence, tens of thousands of people found comfort, hope, and inspiration in his writing. The Henri Nouwen community is a global one. As we look back on 2020, the generosity of so many people humbles us. Without this support, we could not have accomplished our ministry of sharing Henri’s words with the world.
