The team members are, pictured from left, Sister Donna Zwigart, general councilor, Sister Jeanne Weisbeck, general councilor, Sister Barbara Jean Donovan, general minister, Sister Pamela Conte, general councilor, Sister Patricia Larkin, general councilor and Sister Louise Alff, assistant general minister. The new team will be installed on Sept. 17 in Syracuse. This was the fourth general chapter for the Sisters of St. Francis of the Neumann Communities which was formed by the merger of four independent Franciscan congregations from Buffalo, Hastings-on-Hudson and Syracuse, New York as well as Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Delegates from Hawaii, the east coast, as well as Puerto Rico, Peru and Africa, affirmed a directional statement that will give focus to the congregation for the next four years. (Courtesy photo)
