Mother M. Clare Millea
Succeeding Mother Maria Auxiliadora de Godoy as the seventh Superior General is Mother M. Clare Millea, elected by the 15th General Chapter in 2004. The merger of the Central and Southern Italian provinces, begun by Mother Auxiliadora, was completed in September, 2006. This also entailed the transfer of the Benin mission to the Northern Italian province. As of late 2006, the ad experimentum draft of the revised prayer manual has been approved and has gone into use, completing another step in that project. Mother Clare has several other initatives underway. She is meeting and working with various sectors of the Congregation to carry out the directives and recommendations of the Fifteenth General Chapter, particularly regarding restructuring, evaluation of the foreign missions, initial and ongoing formation, lay formation, vocation ministry, and promotion of the internationality of the congregation.
