The 9th General Chapter of the Pious Disciples of the Divine Master has elected Sr. M. Micaela Monetti as Superior General of the Institute for the 2017-2023 sessenium.

Sr. Micaela was born in Turin, Italy on 15 August 1955. She entered the Congregation of the Pious Disciples in Rome on 10 February 1975 and made her perpetual profession in Alba on 28 October 1984.

She earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Philosophy and Theology from the Theological Institute of Northern Italy (Milan), after which she studied at the Augustinianum in Rome.

Among her more significant apostolic experiences have been her pastoral work with youth and her activities in the vocation and liturgical sectors, where she helped to edit the liturgical periodical, Life in Christ and in the Church.

In 1999 Sr. Micaela was appointed provincial councilor. She was a member of the intercongregational team set up to study the Unitary Project of the Pauline Family and was also a member of the editorial team that revised her Institute’s Rule of Life and Directory.

Elected a General Councilor during the Congregation’s 7th General Chapter in 2005, Sr. Micaela was re-elected for a second term of office in 2011.

We offer her our very best wishes in her new service, together with the promise of our prayers.
