During June our General Chapter was held at our motherhouse in Monroe, New York. The General Chapter is held every five years to review our living of the charism of the Parish Visitors of Mary Immaculate: What would God want, and what would Mother Foundress do now, to protect and foster our spiritual heritage and intensify our spiritual and apostolic vitality? Chapter delegates came from our various missions in the United States, Nigeria, and the Philippines.
During our General Chapter we also have our elections. On June 19 Sister Maria Catherine, now called Mother Maria Catherine (pictured), was elected as General Superior. The councilors elected the next day were Sr. Carole Marie, Sr. Mary Josita, Sr. Dolores Marie and Sr. Ann Marie. Sr. Mary Josita was also elected as Assistant General Superior. We ask your prayers for those elected and for our community as we go forward serving God and His people with the beautiful charism of the Parish Visitors of Mary Immaculate.
