Sisters elect new Leadership Council
January 7, 2009 by Sarah Jenkins
Sister Marcia Allen
The election, held Feb. 15 at Nazareth Motherhouse in Concordia, culminated a 20-month Senate process. During the Senate, as part of their refounding efforts, the Congregation adopted a new governance model and set the direction for the next four years with its commitment to nonviolence.
• Sister Marcia Allen, a native of Plainville, KS, will be serving her third term as president. She also held that office from 1987-1995. She is currently on staff at Manna House of Prayer in Concordia.
• Sister Beth Stover was raised in Beloit, KS, and is presently with the North Central-Flint Hills Area Agency on Aging in Manhattan, KS.
• Sister Anna Marie Broxterman is from Baileyville, KS, and is the vocation director for the community inviting women to become vowed members.
• Sister Regina Ann Brummel, was raised in Boonville, Mo. She has most recently worked at the White Earth Tribal and Community College in northwestern MN.
• Sister Jean Rosemarynoski grew up in Wichita and Topeka and is the communications director for the congregation.
• Sister Judy Stephens, from Oakley, KS, works in Hispanic Ministry at Catholic Charities in Salina.
• Sister Mary Jo Thummel is also a native of Plainville, KS, and is a pastoral associate at St. Francis Xavier Parish in Junction City, KS.
The new council will further the vision of refounding by working toward a more in-depth response to the demands of the Gospel and the mission of the Sisters of St. Joseph relative to the needs of the time.
