General Chapter XXIV Update
Last September 21, 2021, the Chapter members began a time of study and reflection, alternating moments of personal and group work in the different commissions and the assembly. These are moments of toil, enriched with serene spaces of fraternity and sharing. The Good night talks were significant moments where the capitulars listened to the messages of the young people, who presented the reality of the provinces they represent.
