From August 23-26, 2016, Sisters of the Congrégation de Notre-Dame, gathered in General Chapter, are discerning and entering an election process.
During Chapter, delegates elect the sisters who will form the new leadership team for the next five years: the Congregation Leader, the Associate to the Congregation Leader and the other councillors. The election process unfolds in several stages:
Prior to the General Chapter, after a time of personal reflection and of sharing in small groups, each Congrégation de Notre-Dame sister confidentially proposes the names of sisters to whom she would entrust the roles of Congregation Leader, Associate to the Congregation Leader and Councillors.
“Rooted in Jesus Christ, let us cultivate love and compassion”
Morning contemplative prayer included individual requests from several delegates for prayer. All were united in prayers of petition. Each morning the facilitator focuses the delegates on the tasks of the day.
