2022 General Assembly

The School Sisters of St. Francis will hold the congregation’s General Assembly in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, from June 23-July 6, 2022. The General Assembly is an international gathering of representatives from the four Provinces of the School Sisters of St. Francis: The United States, North India, South India, and Europe, as well as the Region of Latin America.

During this event, which takes place every four years, the delegates set future directions for the congregation and elect a new International Leadership Team. The theme of the 2022 General Assembly is “Be Witnesses to God’s Love in the World.” This theme will guide the delegates, particularly in the direction setting process for the congregation.

The sisters participating in the General Assembly will hear reports from each Province and Region, from the current International Leadership Team, from financial staff, and several committees. The days will be full of interaction for the sisters in discussions, prayer and celebrations.

Most proceedings will be held at Alverno College, with simultaneous interpretation in the three official languages of the congregation: English, German and Spanish. By the end of the General Assembly, through a discernment process, a new International Leadership Team will be elected and will take office later this summer.
