Collegial Assembly

history

 The General Chapter Event takes place every six years. It provides a special opportunity for the Institute to review its life and to renew the dynamism of its charism within the church. It draws up definite objectives so that the Institute may better accomplish its mission in the present day world.

It consists of:

  • a year of preparation
  • the Collegial Assembly which is a meeting of elected delegates representing the Institute in its unity and diversity.  It elects the international leadership team
  • in the follow-up period, the sisters throughout the Institute search for new ways of  implementing the orientations of the Collegial Assembly suited to their culture and local conditions.


The last Collegial Assembly took place in Paris, France in 2007.  The next Assembly will take place in Paris in 2013.
