Arrival and first meeting

September 3, 2024. Over the past few days, the delegates and guests to the 21st General Chapter arrived in Muenster. We thank God, St. Francis of Assisi, and Father Christopher Bernsmeyer that the travelers’ journey from India, Japan, Vietnam, Korea, Poland, America, and Germany was successful.

Today, the Sisters from Vietnam and the Japan Province met to discuss opportunities for the future in a meeting with Sister Carol Zinn, SSJ, Ph.D., Executive Director of LCWR (Leadership Conference of Women Religious), both facilitators of the General Chapter, Professer Dr. Margret Nemann und Cathedral Provost Hans-Bernd Köppen and members of the Generalate.

Many others are unpacking their luggage as they become familiar with their home at the Episcopal Seminary Borromaeum and the city of Muenster.
