Transfer of Leadership
A simple ceremony took place on June 12, 2026 in the Ursuline Center Chapel with Ursuline Sisters and Associates and a large number of Sylvania Franciscan Sisters present. Sister Sandy, present Superior, invited Sister Sharon Derivan, Congregational Minister of the Sylvania Franciscans, and Sister Shannon Schrein, her delegate to the Ursulines, to come forth and assume the Canonical responsibility of governance. Explanation of the process leading up to this change was on last month's website. Below are pictures from the day.
