The main goal of the Constitutions Committee is to write a draft constitution for the possible
new Cluster congregation. This was advised by canonists as an important
step before the formation of the new congregation, so that congregational
delegates will have something substantive on which to base their Chapter
votes. The committee
meets regularly by conference call and had one in-person meeting in
Columbus in July 2006.
Members of the new subcommittee include:
Sr. Ruth
Caspar (Columbus, primary writer)
Sr.
Jeanne Moore (NOEMD, writer)
Sr.
Barbara Sullivan (Kentucky, writer)
Sr. Rose Bowen (NOSM,
reader/responder)
Sr.
Joanne Caniglia (Akron,
reader/responder)
Sr.
Frances Mary Kernasovich (Oxford,
reader/responder)
Sr.
Peggy Martin (Great Bend,
reader/responder).
Joanne serves as the
committee’s chair, and Fr. Dan Ward, OSB, is their canonical consultant.
