LCWR's outgoing president, Franciscan Sister Pat Farrell, made the announcement to the media at an Aug. 10 press conference at the conclusion of the organization's annual assembly at the Millennium Hotel Downtown. The assembly, which drew about 900 participants, included time for liturgy and prayer, speakers and business meetings.
