A general chapter is always a key moment for each FCJ sister as we take time to look at our individual lives and our life as a group across the world so that we may be led by the Holy Spirit into the future.
The 2025 General Chapter was held at the Franciscan Centre Ladywell, England from 8th to 27th October, beginning with a six-day retreat. To get a flavor of the Chapter experience and what happened during the Chapter, check out the General Chapter News page.
If Jesus calls you and summons you for a mission, he first looks at you, plumbs the depths of your heart and knowing everything about you, fixes his gaze upon you.
Report of General Superior to Chapter 2025
The Chapter has called each sister to respond to the summons and thirst of Jesus specific ways during the next six years through a document called Give me a drink.
As we FCJs — individually, as local groups and across the Society — live into and work with these calls, we hope that our FCJ Companions in Mission, families, friends and colleagues will also find meaning and inspiration here.
