Henri Nouwen Society 2021 Annual Report

Thank You for Being Part of Our Community!

Henri’s words nourish and inspire. Despite the ongoing pandemic and its restrictions, 2021 was an incredible year for the Henri Nouwen Society. We found ways to celebrate Nouwen’s legacy, deepen and extend the impact of his spiritual message, and cast a vision for the Society’s future. We marked the 25th anniversary of Nouwen’s death with several engaging online events attended by thousands of people. We created an exciting new strategic plan to guide our work for the next five years. We also saw the continued growth of our digital media, such as the Daily Meditations, podcasts, and social media. The Henri Nouwen community now stretches around the globe, present on every continent except Antarctica. Of course, none of this ministry would have been possible without the support and partnership of so many people. Together, we continue to bring Henri’s encouraging and hope-filled words to our world.
