General Chapter 2022

[block_title inner_style_title=”two_titles” title=”General Chapter 2022″ subtitle=”Mar 12 – Apr 2, 2022″][/block_title]

After a journey from Inn to inn,

we arrive

at the Cenacle,

waiting and praying for the Holy Spirit, promised to us.

The central flame

inspires and draws us into the depth

of our charism and the new awareness that comes about

through the transformation process.

The fire and Light

carry us outward and upward to concretely live

our Vision in today’s world.

Hope

is expressed in the green shapes

lightly and freely placed to form a V (Vision)

The steps

continue indicating our ongoing journey beyond the chapter.

The beginning of an onward journey…

The day went on as anticipated with the final formalities of voting, signing the acts of the chapter, thanking, and the concluding message from Sr. Euphemia.

Day 21

Neither the rain nor the dropping temperature could dampen our spirits as we are drawing to the close. Our enthusiasm and eagerness to take back home the experience of the Chapter was great as we worked in groups.
