Sisters Of St. Basil The Great Elect New Provincial And Council 

Also during the Chapter, two proposals were made regarding the Jesus, Lover of Humanity Province’s  strategic directions. The first put forth four points:  exploring possibilities for collaboration, increasing  province participation in leadership, revitalizing lay involvement, and pursuing new ministry opportunities. The second proposal focused more specifically on  potential collaboration or covenant relationships with  other Basilian provinces around the world, along the  lines of the relationship now enjoyed with Ukraine’s  Holy Trinity Province.

A celebratory dinner was held on Friday evening for the outgoing Provincial and Council  while another took place on Monday evening  to welcome the new ones. Metropolitan Archbishop Borys Gudziak in a phone conversation congratulated Sister Joann on her election. Overall, Sister Teodora described this  Provincial Chapter as unfolding very peacefully, while Sister Clement expressed confidence in God’s  presence throughout and especially in His role in  bringing out the best of the Sisters for the occasion.

My God bless and inspire Sisters Joann, Dorothy Ann,  Clement, and Teodora to lead the Province with courage and wisdom for the next five years!
