The journey in Africa of the Superior General, Brother Pascal Ahodegnon, continues, accompanied by Brother Etienne Sène, General Councillor, within the context of the process of accompaniment and animation of the celebrations of the Provincial Chapters.

After the previous stages, the two brothers have arrived in Lomé, Togo, where from today, April 27, until May 1, the second Chapter will take place at the Centre de spiritualité des Sœurs Canossiennes, which is hosting this important gathering for reflection and communal discernment.

The Chapter represents a significant moment to review the path taken and to plan for the future, lived in a spirit of shared responsibility and fraternal communion. In a context marked by social, pastoral, and vocational challenges, the capitular members are called to reread the experience of the Order in the light of its charism, in order to identify concrete choices that will strengthen its mission and evangelical witness in the entrusted territories.

The Chapter will also be an opportunity to renew commitment to formation, the care of vocations, fidelity to the evangelical way of life, and service to the most vulnerable, in harmony with the teachings of the Church’s Magisterium and the priorities of the Order.

We entrust the work of the Chapter to the intercession of Saint John of God and of our saints and blessed, so that the Holy Spirit may accompany the brothers in this time of grace, making fruitful the decisions that will emerge for the benefit of the Order and the communities it serves.
