Guided by the Spirit, the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary, gathered in Chapter, elected on July 26, the three Councillors who will constitute the Institute Leadership Council for the next 6 years (2025–2031). The new Institute Leader, Sister Coltrida Mooya, will be in mission alongside Sisters Maria Teresa Nogueira, Sipiwe Phiri, and Madalena Manhiça.

In the coming months, the new Leadership Council in consultation with the Area Leaders will appoint two more Councillors. The work of the new Institute Leadership Council begins in November.
We are grateful to Sisters Coltrida, Maria Teresa, Sipiwe, and Madalena for their YES. We pray that the Spirit of God will guide them and that, through the intercession of Father Gailhac, our Founder, they will be blessed.
“May the God of all goodness, the God of love, the unchanging God, reign forever in their hearts, in their actions, and every in detail of their lives.” Father Jean Gailhac 26/V/71. Vol. I.
