First of all thank you Sylvia for the many ways in which you have served the Secular Franciscan Order and in particular St. Francis Region where you served first as secretary and seven and a half years as Regional Minister.

The results of the Saturday, 17 January 2015 Chapter of Elections is as follows:

Treasurer: Bob Herbelin, OFS
Councilors:

On behalf of your Regional Executive Council (REC) I thank you for the faith and trust you have placed in us.

Through your prayers, the articulation of your needs and concerns, your council's ability to listen to, acknowledge and respond to those need and concerns and by working together we will be able to server our region according to the will of the Holy Spirit.

Your Sister in Christ

Judith B. Mussatto, OFS
