the associate director of the Canadian Centre for Ecumenism, and be the provincial leader for the Sisters of Sion in Jerusalem (1990-1996). It was during her time with the Canadian Centre for Ecumenism that she expanded her work from improving relations between Christians and Jews to also include Muslims. One of the cornerstones of MacDonald's work was rewriting her orders constitution to no longer push members to convert Jews to Catholicism and to instead recognize Judaism as a valid path to God. These changes were initially rejected by the Vatican. After 4 years of fighting, it was eventually accepted. Later in MacDonald's career, she expanded this belief to include all religions instead of just Judaism. Under MacDonald's leadership, the Sisters of Sion instituted progressive new policies including: the habit was no longer mandatory garb; the Sisters of Sion‘s constitution was changed to no longer aim to convert Jews to Catholicism and all religions were recognised as valid paths to God and salvation.
