With the resonance of everything shared the days before the beginning of the Chapter, on the morning of November 18, with the celebration of the Eucharist of the Holy Spirit, presided by Father Arturo Sosa, Superior General of the Jesuits, it is inaugurated officially the XIX General Chapter of the Congregation.

After breakfast, we met in a plenary session to constitute the Chapter.  Sr. Antonia Munuera, Superior General and president of the chapter committee, addresses the opening remarks to the delegate Sisters, recalling the necessary attitudes to create a fraternal climate that favors silence, prayer, reflection, listening, and discernment and remembers the purpose of the chapter and the obligations of members.

After studying the Regulations of the Chapter and resolving any doubts that arise, the election of the chapter services takes place, being constituted as follows:

COORDINATING COMMITTEE

  • President: Sr. Antonia Munuera Alemán
  • Coordinator: Sr. Mª Dolores García Guimerá
  • Secretary of the Chapter: Sr. Aránzazu Palau García
  • Moderators: Sr. Milagro Gómez Bordallo and Sr. Pilar Goterris Moreno
  • Secretary of the Coordinating Committee: Sr. Carmen Villalón Letelier

 

Likewise, Sr. Inmaculada Agost Abril and Sr. Viviane Koussoube are elected as scrutineers.

The Believer Reading about our key words CHARISM-CARE takes place between Sisters and lay people from various countries. After the presentation, Communities of life are formed, where the fruits of the personal reflection of believing reading are shared, finally trying to seek together concrete calls that will later be shared in the Plenary Assembly.

While the Coordinating Committee meets to organize and energize the Chapter, the rest of the sisters join in the praise of the entire Church with the prayer of Vespers, giving thanks to God for everything experienced and shared.
