Today’s Leadership

The leadership team of the European Province is made up of four sisters who, in the words of the Constitutions, provide a pastoral ministry of love and service, combining spiritual leadership and administration.

Clockwise, starting top left: Judith Lancaster, Angela O’Connor, Eileen Crowley, and Jenny Bullen.

Some of the words and phrases from the Society’s Constitutions describe what they do: unifying, facilitating growth, promoting the common good and directing resources. In this work they are answerable to both the province and the Society as a whole.

As a registered charity, the Society also has to ensure that all legal and financial regulations are satisfied. However, the emphasis is really on people – the sisters themselves and all those with whom they work. It is a challenging and demanding responsibility and a privilege.

We are grateful for their generosity in accepting this ministry. The term of office is from May 1st, 2023 until April 30th, 2026.
