When Sister Marcia Hall was elected in April as the next superior general of the Baltimore-based Oblate Sisters of Providence, the nation’s oldest functioning Black Catholic religious order, she would have to wait for her new administration to meet to prioritize goals for their four-year tenure.

That weeklong meeting, which the Oblates refer to as their Chapter of Affairs, will begin June 25, the day after their formal installation at their motherhouse, Our Lady of Mount Providence on Gun Road in Arbutus.
