Rome (Italy). We are close to the beginning of General Chapter XXIV , an important event for every Daughter of Mary Help of Christians, Educating Community, and the Salesian Family in the world.
General Chapter XXIV begins at the FMA Generalate in Rome on 11 September 2021 and ends on 24 October 2021.
The General Chapter is a «key moment for evaluation, reflection, and guidance in a common search for God’s will» (C 135). All the FMA, Educating Communities, lay people, and young people of the Salesian Family collaborate in the Chapter experience with a participation in prayer, study, and proposals. The purpose of the General Chapter is to deal with topics relevant to the mission of the Institute «in order to be an ever-more efficacious presence in the Church and in the world» (C 136).
