Today, February 23, the 105th Chapter of the French Province opened in Angers, in the heart of the Loire region—an event of great importance for the life of the Province and for the shared journey of religious and coworkers.

For several days, the capitular members will gather to reflect on current challenges, renew their commitment to the service of hospitality, and define the priorities that will guide the near future.

Alongside the religious, lay coworkers are also taking part, whose presence bears witness to the increasingly shared dimension of the mission and to the importance of a discernment process that involves all members of the Hospitaller Family.

Rooted in a long tradition of fraternal life and service, the Chapter presents itself as a privileged time to read the signs of the times, to value the experiences matured in the field, and to relaunch the path of evangelical renewal in fidelity to the charism of hospitality.
