A new chapter in Graciela Francovig’s service: Vice-President of UISG (International Union of Superiors General)

Sep 20, 2023 | General government, News, Vida Religiosa

The International Union of Superiors General (UISG) has announced significant changes in its leadership. One of the names that stands out strongly is that of our Superior General, Graciela Francovig.

In an official communication issued by the UISG, it was announced that Graciela will assume the position of Vice President of the UISG until the May 2025 Assembly. This appointment is a testimony to our Superior’s commitment, wisdom, and dedication to religious life and her strong desire to serve the global religious community more meaningfully.

The role of Vice-President is of great importance, since this organization plays a fundamental role in coordinating and strengthening congregations around the world. Graciela carries with her the rich tradition of the Hijas de Jesus and its challenge for intercultural, intercongregational, intergenerational….

“I believe in a religious life that is becoming less and less, but perhaps, opens up the opportunity to live more of what is essential and to embrace the changes that will transform it to continue to be a life of the Gospel and a response to our world”.

The Sister
Mary T. Barron, OLA
Superior General of the Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of the Apostles, who until now was Vice-President of the UISG, is assuming the role of President.

We extend our gratitude and prayers to
Sister Nadia Coppa, ASC
for her dedication and service as former President. We accompany Graciela Francovig and Maria Barron, with our prayer, as they lead the UISG in the coming years, guiding and strengthening religious life around the world.
