In a simple yet meaningful ceremony that included the participation and blessing bestowed by the assembly, song and scripture readings PHYLLIS VIENS, member of the DHS Secular Branch, was missioned to serve as Moderator of the Region of the Americas for an initial period of 3 years. Viens replaces CLAIRE HÉROUX who has completed her 6-year mandate in that position.

The Secular Branch is an offshoot of the Congregation of the Daughters of the Holy Spirit and its members commit to vows adapted to a secular life style “at the heart of the world”. They are guided by the foundation and charism of the mother congregation. More information is available from Phyllis at phyllisviens@yahoo.com
