Benedictine Sister Joanna Burley was reelected prioress of the Benedictine Sisters of Virginia by the monastic community April 22.
The election was guided by facilitators Benedictine Sisters Jane Becker of Ferdinand, Ind., and Christine Ereiser of Tulsa, Okla. Sister Lynn McKenzie, president of the Monastic Congregation of St. Scholastica, presided.
“I am once again so honored to be chosen to lead this spirit-filled community,” said Sister Joanna. “The grace of God is certainly at work among us, and we have great faith and confidence in God as we joyfully live into our future.”
Sister Joanna will be installed at a ceremony in June and will serve a four-year term.
