Step forward to full Union, July 31st Event Highlights

Sisters, Associates, Staff and Friends gathered at Presentation Manor on July 31st for the official vote of Merger with the Congregation of Jesus. In festive and solemn moments we: 

• Called on our foremothers, founders, history, the Spirit from north, south, 

       east and west 

• Recalled moments on the journey from 1821 – 2025, including founding (1847) and expansion in North America; keeping connections, shared events and mission, something new, steps to union  

• Prayed the Litany of Our Lady of Loreto 

• Voted: Jesus, with your love and grace, accept my choice as an offering to you of my vocation and all that I am.

• Enjoyed a barbecue together. 

On August 8th the two Institute leaders submitted the request for Merger to the Dicastery in Rome, Italy. November 4th will mark the official day of merger.
