Background
Established in 1981, the National Association for Treasurers of Religious Institutes (NATRI) supported treasurers of religious institutes (i.e., Roman Catholic religious orders or congregations). The Legal Resource Center for Religious (LRCR) was established as the legal office by the Conference of Major Superiors of Men (CMSM) and the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) in the 1990s and later was also sponsored by NATRI. NATRI and LRCR had headquarters on the same floor of the building that housed the offices of CMSM and LCWR. LRCR eventually became a non-profit corporation. It aided religious institutes in civil and canon law matters. It published a legal bulletin for leaders and finance officers. In 2009 LRCR was renamed The Resource Center for Religious Institutes and NATRI merged with that entity. RCRI continues the mission of LRCR and NATRI.
