"As often
as anything important is to be done in the monastery, the prioress shall call the whole
community together and herself explain what the business is." RB 3:1 The Prioress of Sacred Heart Monastery is elected by the community members for a period of six years. It is her responsibility to unite community members through Christ in his Spirit. She achieves this through dialogue with the community in a spirit of co-responsibility and through the two-fold manner of teaching by word and deed. |
|
The Monastic Council serves as an advisory body to the Prioress. |
Sister Carolyn Sieg, Sister Sharon Marie Stola, Sister Helen Jilek (Treasurer) Sister JoAnne Form (Secretary), Sister Mary Bratrsovsky, Sister Judith Ann Heble (Prioress), Sister Benita Jasurda (Sub Prioress)

"The Monastic chapter is the collegial, consenting, and consultative body of the monastic community. Membership is comprised of all members who have made monastic profession. Benedict provided for collegial leadership. Since the principle of co-responsibility is rooted in the Rule of St. Benedict, the prioress does not make arbitrary decisions. She respects the divine wisdom, which brings her and her Benedictine community together, by consulting them regularly, sharing with them as much as possible her decision making responsibilities. Having received the advice of her council and community she must finally judge what the Spirit is saying to the community." (RB 3:1-6) |
