The Leadership Council of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Cluny arrived in Rome from thefour corners of the world, for a congregational leadership meeting.

The congregation’s Leadership Council gathers every six years and is usually held in a variety of places where the Cluny Sisters are missioned. This year they are gathering in Rome. 

Though the Global Pandemic delayed the council’s gathering initially planned for 2021, the leadership council is gathering in Rome from February 13 - March 6, 2022. 

Join us in praying for their safe journeys, good health and guidance of the Holy Spirit throughout.

The role of the Council of the Congregation is:

 Emmaus  Theme 

 

 The theme of the Council of the Congregation is "Road to Emmaus."

As seen in our logo, we are pilgrims on the way, traversing the world,

accompanied by the spirit of Blessed Anne Marie Javouhey

and guided by the Holy Spirit!

 Sister Genevieve Marie Vigil is one of the provincials participating in the Council, representing the Province of the U.S.A. & Canada.  There will be congregational leadership attending from Europe, Asia, Africa, Americas/Caribbean, Oceania.  The last statistical data of 2018 there were 31 provinces, vice-provinces and regions of the world; four official languages of the congregation - English French, Portuguese and Spanish; and an international missionary character of diverse languages, cultures, races, traditions of over 2,000 sisters  ministries of education, pastoral, health care and social action that deeply enrich and challenge us.

Please join us in praying for openness to the Spirit that guides us!
