The newly- elected President's declaration
"For me it is a great joy to welcome this call. I am very grateful for the journey that, as Superiors, we have made together in these years. And it is in the wake of the steps already taken that we will continue to walk together as consecrated women, and a sign of shared life and hope in the Church.
Our mission is to make vulnerability an opportunity to embrace wounded humanity, to welcome one another and to walk together: this is what the Church asks of us and what the world wishes to see from us - women religious."
