Sister Carla Kovack, OP, became the 16th Prioress General of the Dominican Sisters of San Rafael during a Sept. 22 ceremony in which Sister Kovak and her new leadership team were installed at the congregation’s Marin County campus. They will serve a four-year term.
Sister Kovak served as a member of the congregation’s leadership team under the direction of her predecessor, Sister Maureen McInerney, OP. In her installation reflection, Sister Kovak said the congregation’s call is to “seed future generations with a desire to preach a Gospel of truth, love, and justice.”
