New General Leadership team 2021-2026

The COVID-19 pandemic brought the world to a stop. 
Carefully thought out plans and gatherings were no longer possible. Zoom and other means of social networking became a major source of communication. Thus, the General Chapter of the Missionary Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate Conception, originally scheduled to take place in Assisi in July of 2021 took on a completely new look. Over a period of months, our leadership teams gathered via Zoom to share and process the impact of the pandemic throughout our Institute. These meetings led us first to postpone the General Chapter elections and finally to conduct the business of the General Chapter via Zoom. 
On November 23, 2021 our mail-in ballots were counted and recorded. 

The members of our new General Leadership team 2021-2026 are from left to right:

Sr. Pauline Robinson (General Minister), Sr. Marie Puleo, Sr. Lorna Kawa and Sr. Elise Gorman.

Mission Statement

We commit ourselves by profession of vows to:

Manifest God’s universal compassion through inclusive non-dominating relationships of love.
Trust in God’s Providence and live in a manner that affirms the right of all to a just share of the earth’s resources.
Discern together the voice of the Spirit that has called us to be one in our diversity.

In the spirit of Francis, Clare, and Elizabeth Hayes, we promote ever-widening circles of communion as we:

Open ourselves to a life of continued conversion in response to the call of the Gospel.
Identify with the victim, the poor and the marginalized in seeking a peace built on justice.
Reverence creation, acknowledging the right of all God’s creatures to enjoy its blessings.
Address the need within ourselves for repentance, forgiveness and healing while promoting a message of reconciliation.
