Adrian, MI – In a historic General Chapter, the Adrian Dominican Sisters elected their next Prioress and General Council and set the direction for the next six years.
Sister Patricia Siemen, OP, Prioress, formally opened the Congregation’s 19th General Chapter, held in late June-early July, in Chicago. The dates and place of General Chapter 2022 were an unprecedented departure from the Congregation’s practice of meeting in Chapter in February at the Motherhouse in Adrian.
The changes were made to keep the Sisters who reside at the Motherhouse – as well as the Delegates – as safe as possible during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Chapter’s Delegates elected a Prioress and General Council to lead the Congregation through June 2028. Sister Elise D. García, OP, is the Prioress-elect. Sister Lorraine Réaume, OP, is the Vicaress/General Councilor-elect. Sisters Janice Brown OP, Bibiana Colasito OP, and Corinne Sanders OP, are the new General Councilors-elect. They will formally take office in October.
