General Information
Methodology
The preparation will be carried out through “Conversations in the Spirit,” fostering participation, shared reflection, and communal discernment at various levels. These conversations will take place within communities, Organisms, including those who share our life and mission.
To facilitate this process, each Organism will be asked to designate a small animating team to guide and coordinate the preparation locally. In addition, a continental synthesis group will help to gather and integrate the fruits of discernment emerging from different contexts.
The General Preparatory Commission will accompany this process and will provide further guidance in the coming months. This spiritual journey invites the active participation of all, so that the XXVII General Chapter may truly become a moment of grace, renewal, and missionary discernment for the entire Congregation.
