Final Preparations for the 21st General Chapter
September 7, 2024: Organizing the international General Chapter takes a lot of time and preparation, especially when it is held outside the motherhouse. Today, on the eve of the 21st General Chapter opening, the preparations received their finishing touch.
At the Borromaeum, the conference room has been set up as the Chapter Hall. The seating is organized according to countries and languages to facilitate the translation, and the discussions among the delegates from the different provinces and the Canonical House. On the tables, personalized folders hold the material that will be discussed over the next two weeks.
The Sisters from the Generalate and the chapter facilitators are seated along the side of the room with Sister M. Margarete Ulager, the outgoing General Superior.
In the back, six interpreters will be working in sound proof cabins.
In a brief meeting this afternoon, the delegates were able to familiarize themselves with the room and were given an introduction to the translation system. Moreover, the agenda was discussed and the rules of procedure approved.
May the 21st General Chapter begin!
With the following video, we would like to invite you to visit the Chapter Hall at the Borromaeum before the start of the event.
