Council of Major Superiors of Women Religious CMSWR serves as a channel for mutual support in sustaining among member communities the transcendent nature of religious life Essential Elements, May 31, 1983).

Founded in 1992 by eighty major superiors of women religious from across the United States and under the guidance of Cardinal James Hickey, the Council of Major Superiors of Women Religious (CMSWR) serves as a channel for mutual support in sustaining among member communities the transcendent nature of religious life and the centrality of common life, common prayer, community-based apostolates, rel

igious obedience and the witness to consecration and poverty by a garb that is both common and simple (cf. The CMSWR primarily carries out its mission in the following ways:
• Serving as an organization to facilitate effective collaboration among major superiors
• Cooperating closely with the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and with individual Bishops
• Nurturing “a renewed appreciation of the deeper theological reasons for this special form of consecration.”

This year at our National Assembly, we hosted an evening of Eucharistic Adoration and a procession at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis.

Reflecting on this beautiful time with the Eucharist, Sister Catherine Anne Burleigh, O.P., Vice Chairperson of CMSWR and Vicar of the Dominican Sisters of St. Dominican Sisters of Saint Cecilia, said the “procession behind Our Lord in the monstrance reminded us that our whole life, especially as consecrated religious, is a pilgrimage back to the Father, following in the footsteps of our savior and the bridegroom of our souls, Jesus Christ.”

May we all reflect more deeply on our earthly pilgrimage and how we can deepen our devotion to Jesus in the Eucharist.
