28 May 2023 : Celebration of the Offical Opening of the Year of Preparation for the General Chapter. Launching of the Theme of the General Chapter.

Each of the 115 communities of the Congregation was invited to enter the process of preparation for the next General Chapter, by a celebration around the gospel text “the Wedding of Cana”, which will be the main theme of these 9 months that separate us from the Chapter.

“The date of May 28, 2023, when the Church celebrates the Solemnity of Pentecost, is chosen as the official opening of the year of preparation for the General Chapter. As in the past for the early Church, Mary prays with us and intercedes for us. She asks the Holy Spirit to pour out his light, his peace and all the riches of his grace upon us. May she help us to leave everything to go to Jesus: it is He who baptizes in the Spirit! (Brother Hervé Zamor)
