Sr Marcia Hall elected superior general of the Oblate Sisters of Providence, nation’s oldest Black Catholic order
The New Jersey native and former university administrator has been a member of the Oblates, the nation’s oldest Black Catholic order, since 1998.
The Oblate Sisters of Providence, the nation’s oldest operating Black Catholic religious order, have elected Sr Marcia Hall as their new superior general, the 21st in their 196-year history.
The order elected their new administration on April 24 in Baltimore, where they were founded in 1829 by Venerable Mary Lange and the Sulpician priest James Nicholas Joubert.
