Leadership and motherhouse

A priest as Superior General, a chapter as an advisory and supervisory body at his side.

The responsibility for the association Communio in Christo and its leadership are in the hands of a priest. As early as 1985, Mother Marie Therese entrusted this responsibility to Superior General Karl-Heinz Haus. The Superior General directs and coordinates all domestic and foreign commitments of Communio in Christo as well as its charitable and theological orientation. The Superior General is assisted by the Chapter and a Scientific Council. The main residence of the Superior General is - determined by the Foundress - the Motherhouse in Mechernich.

The Chapter

The Chapter participates in all decisions on essential matters concerning both the community and the works of Communio in Christo. Mother Marie Therese not only determined the separation of the spiritual branch (union) and the property, but also decreed that control over the use of the property be exercised by a consultative body vested with decision-making powers, the Chapter. The Chairman is always the Superior General. He is assisted, according to the will of Mother Marie Therese, by theologians and lay experts, each of whom is assisted by a representative for his task, who must also be qualified according to his task. The body represents the bridge between the various sub-organizations and contributes to their guidance its theological, juridical and commercial expertise.

In this sense, the Chapter also acts for the two non-profit associations, Communio in Christo e. V. and Sozialwerk Communio in Christo e. V..
