Discover more about our General Chapter
The general chapter is the organ which represents the whole Congregation and which exercises its authority collegiate over its life and mission. It is a paschal event, a moment of charismatic renewal and apostolic projection that we have to celebrate in spirit of faith and fraternity, seeking, in an attitude of discernment, what is pleasing to the Lord.
The Chapter is the place of prayerful obedience to the Holy Spirit in the search for the greater good of the Congregation in the Church. We collaborate actively and responsible with an attitude of docility to the Spirit, fostering an atmosphere of intense prayer and true conversion.
The General Chapter is held every six years. It is summoned by the General Superior, who with the consent of her councillors, sets the agenda, the time and place of its celebration, according to the norms of the Directory. The supreme importance of this event demands careful preparation, to which the necessary time must be devoted.
