Jesus is the model for Christian leaders.  In Jesus, they see the focus, characteristics and behavior that are needed to build God`s kingdom. In any Religious congregation, the leaders are above all the servants of others.  

Authority in our Congregation is essentially spiritual. At the Presentation of Mary, leadership is found in the General Chapter which is a meeting of Sisters whose main purpose is to elect a General Superior and deal with questions of interest to the whole Congregation. The General Chapters occur every six years.

Our Superior General has authority over all the provinces, regions, and missions of our Congregation. Her role is to keep the Congregation strongly united in a dynamic faithfulness to the charism of our foundation. She is the visible bond of the very diverse parts of the Congregation, the sign of the gathering of its members in one large family, that of Mother Rivier. (Rule of Life - C155).

The Superior General and her Council, work together as a team. They pray, reflect, discern and act in the service of the whole Congregation. 

The whole Congregation is divided into provinces and regions, each having its own superior.  Our Provincial Superior for the United States province is Sr. Annette Laliberte. She is responsible for the unity and fidelity to the spirit of our Foundress, Marie Rivier, and to its mission in the Church. Sr. Annette also works with a team called the Provincial Council. Sr. Holly Gauthier is Provincial Assistant, Sr. Thérèse Larochelle, Sr. Suzanne Rivard, and Sr. Lorraine Aucoin, serve on our Provincial Council.

"Lord, grant us the grace to always
submit to whatever You want or allow to happen.  
Help us to carry the cross with Christ Jesus."
