The Apostoline Sisters held their 5th Ordinary General Chapter from 4-17 March 2018 at the Divine Master Retreat House, Ariccia, Italy. The theme that guided the Chapter’s reflections and work was: Working with you for your joy (2 Co. 1:24). “For all vocations”: in fraternity for mission.
The following sisters were elected as the Institute’s new General Government:
Superior General for a second term of office: Sr. Marina Beretti
General Councilors: Sr. Maria Antonietta Leoni, Sr. Tosca Ferrante, Sr. Teresita Cabri, Sr. Donatella Branco.
From the Chapter’s Final Message, here are a few images that were very significant to the Chapter delegates:
Apostolines in the school of discernment: “We realized that we can learn how to discern by anchoring ourselves more and more in the words and method transmitted to us by Fr. Alberione.”
Apostolines in fraternity: “We are convinced that the fraternal life is a gift and that it is the most urgent prophecy. It springs from prayer, from profound discernment and from fraternal relations based on reconciliation.
Apostolines in mission: “Taking on a mission, a charism, requires us to have a clear identity–the one given us by Fr. Alberione.”
Our warmest best wishes to our Apostoline Sisters for a fruitful journey overflowing with good.
