For these meetings, 44 sisters are coming from \u2018the ends of the earth\u2019!<\/p>\n

The purpose of the Enlarged Enlarged General Council (EEGC)<\/strong> is to take stock of what is happening in the Congregation and envisage its future. It helps the Superior General in her mission to preserve the Congregation’s identity in fidelity to the founding charism and update its apostolic mission for the contemporary world. <\/p>\n

As an international finance meeting<\/strong>, the EIFC brings together the sisters responsible for the economic side of our mission at the General and Provincial levels. As one family, we pool all our resources in imitation of the first disciples of Jesus (Acts 2, 44-45). This requires a certain cohesion in our ways of doing things, collaboration between us, and ongoing formation. This is what we seek to create and strengthen in an international finance meeting. <\/p>\n

International meetings like these are always an event, one of those \u2018family celebrations that we like to be associated with\u2019 (Mother Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Couderc, 23 October 1867), in presence or thought. They allow us to strengthen our bonds, get to know each other, and set common directions. <\/p>\n

They are also great opportunities to experience interculturality<\/strong>: coming face to face with cultures that are different from your own, with different ways of thinking and trying to understand them so as to have a dialogue that respects each one. This requires us to approach exchanges \u2018with a broad and generous heart\u2019 (Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius n\u00b05). <\/p>\n

At these international meetings, we have no less than seven different mother tongues, but fortunately, that does not prevent us from sharing the same language of God’s goodness<\/strong> and love for our common mission for the Church and the world<\/strong>, with the vocabulary and sensitivity proper to our Congregation.<\/p>\n

Choosing to have these two meetings at Le Ch\u00e2telard<\/a> (https:\/\/www.chatelard-sj.org), near Lyon (France), makes a lot of sense to us. It is a Jesuit spiritual centre where we share Ignatian spirituality<\/strong>. But it is also an eco-centre on the path of integral ecology<\/strong> to \u2018take care of our common home\u2019: concrete actions to preserve Creation, spiritual proposals that integrate the relationship with oneself, with others and with Creation… Concerns that are very much in line with our own orientations following Laudato Si<\/em>\u2026 <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
