Celebrating and Transition of Responsibilities

On Wednesday, 28 February 2024, there was a celebration in the chapel of the MSC Generalate, a handover ritual from the previous General Leadership Team (GLT) to the new Team. In his reflection, Absalon reminded us, “Positions function; they are adjectives; they come and go. The substantive continues to serve. We are called to serve, to be human and genuine members of the Chevalier (family).” The celebrations continued after mass, with our Sisters from the FDNSC Generalate joining us.

Special thanks to the outgoing GLT, and all the best for your new missions. Congratulations to the incoming Team, and may the Sacred Heart of Jesus continue to inspire you in your new mission.
