Today in Rome, friars from across the globe will begin to assemble for the two-hundredth and ninetieth General Chapter of the Order of Preachers. The General Chapter is the supreme governing authority in the Dominican Order. It is an assembly of friars, representing all the Provinces of the Order, coming together to discuss and define matters pertaining to the good of the entire Order. One of the most important tasks facing the 130 delegates at this Chapter is to elect a Master of the Order.
The General Chapter has its own website which is full of information and which will be updated with news, as the Chapter progresses. Please keep the Order and especially the members of the Chapter, in your prayers at this time.
Some of us avid supporters got there a while since . . . Rosamundi and I both had posts up a few days ago ! :-)
