Leadership

The major objectives of the general government of the Sisters of Saint Ann are the unity of the Congregation and its fidelity to the mission of education bequeathed it by Mother Marie Anne and confirmed by the Church. The General Leader governs the entire Congregation, is responsible for its unity and animates its apostolic religious life.

The diversity and expanse of the Congregation demand Province Leaders. These have the responsibility of animating and administering their province so as to help the local communities respond to those appeals of the Church that correspond to the charism of the Congregation.

Province Leader & Council

The Leader of Saint Joseph’s Province is supported by:
