The chapters in Latin America

In the month of August 2021 the three Provinces of Latin America celebrated their Provincial Chapters whose aim, in accordance with the n. 139 of the Constitutions, is to evaluate the progress of the Province, to draw the way to undertake for the new triennium and to elect the Provincial Government, the team of Sisters that  will accompany the life of the Province in the years 2021 – 2024.

Each Chapter was celebrated in three phases and the first two ones, once granted the necessary authorizations of the Holy See through the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life, were carried out virtually: in the first one, all the sisters of the Province were involved and in the second  one, only the Capitulars. Instead, in the third phase, participated face to face, the Sisters that are carrying on a special role within the Province or were elected as representatives of all the Sisters.

In the context of each Chapter, the election of the new Provincial Superior and her Council that will animate the life of the Province has a great importance.

Here below we give a short information about each Chapter of Latin America.
