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.  After the hearty welcome from our Sisters, we gathered for a festive mass presided over by Bishop Gerard de Korte of ‘s-Hertogenbosch.  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.

As we embrace the Synodal Journey from 2021 to 2023, let us invite the Holy Spirit to be at work in us so that we may be a community and a people of grace.
