Mother General

This past month our congregation held our 9th General Chapter. Every 6 years each religious congregation has a meeting called a General Chapter. This is a grace-filled time for all the sisters of the congregation. It is a time to look over the past six years and filled with gratitude we thank God for the many ways he has guided our life (as a congregation and individually). It is also the time when we look to the future with trust and a discerning heart (listening to the Spirit) to see how God may be calling us to continue on our journey of spreading the Gospel through the media to the people of today.

It is also during this time that an election is held for a Superior General. This sister is called by God to serve the congregation in the position of leadership (for 6yrs). It is not an easy task, but she who is called by God embraces it with humility and trust that she will receive the graces needed from the Master.

This year Sr. Antonieta Bruscato (Brazilian) has been elected a second term to be our Superior General. She responded in this way: “The Congregation belongs to God and we are all his servants. In saying ‘yes,’ I offer my service to him and to the Congregation. My thanks to all of you.” Please join us in continuing to pray for her!
