A Transition in Leadership Within Our Community

With Gratitude for Mother Vicki,

With Prayers for Mother Pam

(Apr 9. 2026)

 

 

Our community wishes to share an important moment in our life together. After serving faithfully as our superior since 2012, Mother Victoria Murray has offered her resignation. We are deeply grateful for her years of wholehearted service, compassionate leadership, and steady dedication to our community.

We also joyfully announce that Mother Pamela — born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1964 and a member of our monastery since 1987 — has accepted the appointment from our Father Immediate, Dom Paul Mark Schwann, Abbot of Vina, to serve as our new superior ad nutum.

With sincere gratitude for Mother Vicki’s long and generous service, we invite you to join us in prayer for our new prioress, Mother Pam, as she begins this mission of leadership.
