The event took place on Sept. 14 at the LSIC Provincialate in Cherry Hill. For Mother Beata it was a short return visit to the United States from the Motherhouse in Stara Wies, Brzozow in Poland where previously, after religious education and service in the Diocesan Curia of Tarnow, she taught in schools in New Jersey and Pennsylvania and served terms as formation directress and vicar provincial before becoming vicar general and then superior general of the congregation. Sister Bernadeta was previously superior provincial in Krakow among other services. Mother Dorota, a child educator from Bialystok in Poland, entered the congregation in 1992 in the United States and taught in schools until recently at Blessed Edmund Center in Cherry Hill. She was formation directress and was an assistant provincial. Sister Jadwiga Cierpinska taught religious education and mathematics in Poland, and for 25 years besides prayer and youth ministry served in the business office at St. Josephs’s Senior Home and served a term as local superior in Woodbridge, N.J. before she served as superior provincial during the past six years. The L.S.I.C. founded by Blessed Edmund Bojanowski in 1850 in Poland, have 1,303 Sisters worldwide with the Generalate in Stara Wies, Brzozow in Poland and approximately 3,000 Sisters worldwide in a Federation.
