Dominican General Chapter

Last Chapter in Bogotá, Colombia

Next week Dominicans from around the world will be gathering into a General Chapter to amend our legislation and vote for a new Master General, our head guy in Rome. The Dominicans going to this particular Chapter which is held every three years are the Provincials and elected delegates. This is the big one which happens every nine years to elect a new Master General.

See the link below for the website which will keep everyone updated. The Chapter will be held in Rome this year. It was scheduled for India, but it became too dangerous to hold it there. It begins on Tuesday, August 31st and ends on Tuesday, September 21st. An important date to remember in prayers is September 5th on which the Chapter will elect our new Master General.
