The Sabbath




The first weekend of the capitulars were spent for visitation of the significant places of the Order, namely, Maddalena, Camillianum and Bucchianico. It was a day of encounter with the non-capitulars who long to see their confreres and spend quality time with them. There we found each other gather at the Villa Sacra Famiglia for the mass and the dinner, through the courtesy of the Roman province.

All the capitulars are fully energized and ready to brace through the most exciting event, i.e., the offcial day of the chapter which is on May 7. I say special because during this week all the Consultors and the General will deliver their state of the Order address. Right after the delivery, the Order's governance is in "sede vacante" which means their term of office will officially end. Then the capitulars will elect the "definitorio" to run the interim period till the new General will be elected.

So keep yourself abreast to the forthcoming events this week.
