During April 5-10, 2010, the Sisters of St. Dominic of Caldwell, NJ came together for Chapter 2010.  The first portion of the week was devoted to the Chapter of Life and Mission.  The Chapter theme “Past is Prologue” shaped the Sisters’ contemplative dialogue during these Chapter sessions that included prayer and music, presentations of data and many vibrant discussions regarding life issues such as housing options for aging sisters and relationship with sponsored ministries.

On Saturday, April 10, Bishop Manuel Aurelio Cruz, D.D. presided at the Mass of the Holy Spirit in the Sisters’ Motherhouse Chapel.  Immediately following the Mass, Chapter delegates officially opened  the Chapter of Election.  Sister Arlene Antczak, OP - elected to a second five-year term as Prioress – accepted affirmation and congratulations from Bishop Cruz and the Sisters.  Sisters Luella Ramm, OP, Patricia Stringer, OP and Elsie Bernauer, OP were elected as the other members of the Council. 

The official Transition of Leadership took place on June 30, 2010.
