During the week of Jan. 18-22,  the Sisters of St. Mary of Oregon held a series of “Chapter Meetings” which happen once every five years, to determine their goals, develop a Commitment Statement and discern which women among them are most fit to lead the Congregation up through 2015.

This SSMO Commitment Statement will provide a focus and direction for the Congregation for the next five years:

Responding to Jesus’ mandate to love one another
and prompted by our charism,
we commit to using our gifts, skills and resources
to work for justice
as we journey in solidarity with the vulnerable, particularly the immigrant,
and as we care for God’s creation through sustainable practices.

The Catholic Sentinel recently published biographies for each member of the new Leadership Team for 2010-2015.

THE NEW SSMO LEADERSHIP TEAM WILL SERVE THE CONGREGATION JUNE 20, 2010 THROUGH THE SUMMER OF 2015
	Superior General	Sister Charlene Herinckx
