The eight separate provinces of the Felician Sisters of North America recently completed one of the final steps to merger with the election of a Provincial Minister and Council to lead the new single province. The historic election is the culmination of a decade of planning by the Felician Sisters throughout the US and Canada.

The elections for the new provincial minister, vicar, and six council members took place on Wednesday, April 22, following two days of meetings and prayer. Each of the current eight provinces submitted a slate of nominees, and fifty-four sisters, comprising electors, nominees and secretaries met in Plymouth, Michigan to make the final choice. Reverend Richard L. Conboy served as facilitator for the unprecedented voting process.

The provincial minister-elect is Sister Mary Christopher Moore (Coraopolis, PA), the vicar-elect is Sister Danat Marie Brysch (Rio Rancho, NM). Sister Nancy Marie Jamroz (Livonia, MI), Sister Constance Marie Tomyl (Enfield, CT), Sister Mary Geralyn Mroczkowski (Chicago, IL), Sister MaryAnne Olekszyk (Mississauga, Ontario, Canada), Sister Mary Jolene Jasinski (Buffalo, NY) and Sister Judith Marie Blizzard (Lodi, NJ) filled the remaining six council seats. 

Each one of the eight current North American provinces has one sister representing it on the new leadership team.

The Felician Sisters, formally known as the Congregation of the Sisters of Saint Felix of Cantalice, pursue multiple ministries across the North American continent, as well as in Europe, Africa and South America. Founded in 1855 by Blessed Mary Angela Truszkowska, the Congregation emulates her commitment to compassionate service, total availability, and concern for the salvation of all people. Felician Sisters can be found working with the underprivileged and within poor communities, as well as in schools, hospitals, parishes, and various other locations. They number approximately 900 and are noted for providing joyful service.

“For more than a century-and-a-half, the Felician Sisters have pursued the vision of Blessed Mary Angela to be ‘sister and servant to all’,” observed the Provincial Minister-elect, Sister Mary Christopher Moore.  “This new configuration will allow us to more effectively meet the needs of the times and to fulfill the mission of the Congregation which is to cooperate with Christ in the spiritual renewal of the world.
