Friday 13th Day of 5th general Chapter

30 August 2013

This morning the Chapter elected Sr. Angela Fahy as their superior general. The Liturgy Group had prepared a Ritual of Service, a Columbian tradition, where the newly appointed leader washes the feet or hands of her community as a reminder that she is called firstly, to be the “servant of the servants”.

Eucharist was celebrated at 11am and concluded with a very moving anointing and blessing of the new superior general. The afternoon was spent in discernment for a new central team, in preparation for voting on Saturday morning. A long days work concluded at 7pm in time for the Evening Meal. During the meal, Angela was presented with a beautiful bouquet of flowers by the community here at Angers.

A long, but very fruitful day!
