Dear Sisters,

We Started the General Chapter meetings in Namur by visiting an exposition on the history of the congregation prepared with care by Sr. Renée and the opening prayer prepared by the exiting general counsel which took place in our dear mother Clair’s big chapel at 7 p.m. It was a very lively and diverse celebration with readings in different languages, and songs…

During this prayer, our three former general superiors, Sr. Judith Carol, Réjeanne Roussel and Maureen Quinn, preceded to anoint us with oil. As we see in several passages in the Bible, refer to the use of oil and the importance of oil. Sisters were able to receive oil on one or both hands. The sisters were very happy and content and returned to Jambes by car, by bus or on foot.
