The Superior General Speaks…..


It is with a feeling of joy and gratitude that I thank God for placing me in this new role of shepherding the Institute of the Poor Sisters of Our Lady. A delicate task indeed! However, I firmly believe that God gives enough grace to bring those tasks to completion. If He has brought me this far, He surely will see me through.

My priority is formation and vocation. Our Sisters are doing well in various ministries, including prison ministry. Our Founder Servant of God George Fernandes is a step further from being Venerable. We need to keep his vision alive in our hearts and in our apostolate.

I thank my Councillors and all Sisters of my Institute. We hope to work together to make our dream come true for our institute. May Mary our Mother and Patroness accompany us in doing God’s will at all times and may St. Joseph our second patron be our protector and guide.
