Secretariat

The general administration of the Religious Institute of the Holy Family is entrusted to the Superior General and her Council all of whom are elected by the General Chapter, the "highest internal authority of the Institute" (const. 54).

It is currently composed of eight members, including the Superior General, the Vicar for the Contemplative Sisters, the Assistant General, the General Bursar and four other Councillors. The General Councillors help the Superior General in her task and have responsibility for different regions and commissions as determined by her.

The Institute is divided into regions called Provinces or Delegations for the Apostolic Sisters and a Vicariate for the Contemplative Sisters. Each Province or Delegation has for  leader a sister termed the Provincial or Delegate. They with their Councils constitute the local administration in the Institute.

The Superior General and her Council work together in a spirit of communion and ensure the animation and formation necessary for the unity of the Institute and the authenticity of life of all the sisters. They work in close collaboration with the different leaders so that unity may be strengthened (cf. const. 68).
