General Chapter 2022 - Second Week
The second week of our General Chapter 2022 began with a memorable visit to our Motherhouse in the Netherlands on Monday, 29 August 2022.

This was followed by a sumptuous luncheon and a special prayer service at the grave of our Co-Foundress Mother Paula Emunds. Our beautiful day ended with a special tea time outdoors before boarding the bus back to Neuenbeken, Germany.
The remainder of the second week was dedicated to working on our Chapter agenda, with various interventions and group work.
