Congregational Leadership Board Meeting (October 2-7)

The meeting began with a welcome and introduction of the participants by Sister Barbara and a prayer and sharing of the hopes of the participants led by the facilitator, Sister Margie.
We then heard the highlights of the provincial and mission reports and shared insights into the realities mentioned in the various reports and their implications. The sharing of the different situations faced by the provinces and missions was always authentic and went deeper than just a “business report”.
At length, CLB members heard financial reports, reports on membership, accountability reports on General Chapter recommendations and mandates, and a look at our overall membership statistics. This led to a very candid discussion about the realities we face as an Order. Following the reports of the various committees, we had a variety of other topics and basic discussions about the next General Chapter, which will be held September 1-14, 2026, in Korea.
