The IVC Vision and Planning process has been active since its launch in early October 2023. With one of the goals of the process being to “gain meaningful insights on experiences and views”, three of four initiatives have either been completed or are underway as 2024 begins.

Since then, Eileen serves as a Spiritual Reflector to plan the monthly spiritual program for the IVC Albany community. Eileen and her husband Dick live in Watervliet and are parishioners at St. Vincent de Paul Church in Albany.
Meet Members: Anne & Matt Baas
Our initial experience with service came to us in 2004 when Anne had heard of the Court Appointed Special Advocate “CASA” program in the Tampa/Clearwater area in Florida. Since Matt had just retired from a full-time consulting engagement, Anne encouraged him to look into CASA.
One of the most important facets of the Imagine IVC process is creating a space for our community members to share their honest opinions with each other. To do so, we made sure that our Visioning Process facilitators were experts in not only fostering dialogue and leading discussions but also well versed in Ignatian Spirituality as well.
