Chapter Commitments

The Congregation Chapter is the highest decision-making body in the congregation. In this event we celebrate our unity, renew our life and spirit, reflect together on the call of the gospel, and make decisions in fidelity to our charism.

— Constitution 100

A general Chapter is the gathering of the Congregation, usually every six years, to elect new leadership and to commit to a direction for the next six years; that commitment is known as the Chapter Call. It is a commitment in spirit, thought, word and deed developed after much prayer, discussion, discernment and reading the signs of the times.
