The Sisters Hospitallers held their 22nd Plenary Meeting at Casa de Saùde de Idanha (Lisbon-Portugal) from 18-25 February.
On 18 February the 22nd Plenary Meeting was held for the first time in Idanha, Portugal, where a warm welcome awaited the sisters.
25 sisters attended this Meeting from four continents (Europe, Latin America, Africa and Asia) and the motto was: Recreating Hospitality in Restructuring Processes. Which type of Governance?
The objectives of the meeting were:
- To continue analysing our style of animation and governance in the restructuring process.
- To study the formation processes, particularly during the initial stages of formation.
- To clarify certain legal aspects based on Canon Law and our Own Law.
- To reach an agreement for an economic contribution to the Congregation from the provinces.
The 22nd Plenary Meeting was initiated with a greeting by Sister Anabela Carneiro, Superior General. This was followed by work on themes related to the initial formation of the sisters: the fifth juniorate year: formators and formation centres in the Congregation by the Vicar-General Sister Asunción Riopedre.
