With a sense of deep gratitude to the Lord, who continues to allow us to experience His benevolent presence in the history of our Missionary Family, and trusting in His constant help for the journey that lies ahead of us,
I OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCE
the XI GENERAL CHAPTER
OF THE MISSIONARY SISTERS OF THE IMMACULATE
The Chapter will be held from the 5th to the 29th of September 2018 at the SVD Ad Gentes Center, Nemi
The theme of the Chapter is:
PROPHETIC COMMUNITIES THAT ANNOUNCE THE GOSPEL
IN THE PERIPHERIES OF THE WORLD
Journeying with apostolic courage along the ever-new paths of the mission.
We have chosen this theme, taking into consideration the suggestions that emerged during the Inter-Chapter Assembly that were inspired by the journey of the Institute and the signs of the time in the Church and in the world at large.
Let us entrust our General Chapter to the patronage of Mary Immaculate, Queen of the Apostles, so that we may be enabled to cooperate efficaciously in the expansion of God’s Kingdom on earth in openness to the signs of time, with creative fidelity.
With affection and united in prayer,
The General Direction
