I will go where the glory of God calls me

Sister Maria Teresa Garcia Rodriguez has been elected General Animator of the Congregation of the Teresian Carmelite Missionary Sisters, on Sunday, November 24, 2024, during the XVI General Chapter held in Madrid.

We are grateful for her availability to accept this call of the Lord.

The Constitutions state that to carry out this service of animation and government, “the sister who has completed at least ten years of perpetual profession in our religious family can be elected. She should possess the human and charismatic qualities necessary to adequately fulfill her office, a strong sense of belonging to the Congregation, a vision of the future and a missionary restlessness” (C105).

The capitulars will continue with the prayerful discernment of the reality in order to carry out all the necessary votes to elect the four councilors, always one at a time, who will form together with her the Animation and Government Team.
