Preparations Continue for the 5th Ordinary General Chapter

On July 4 - 22, of this year in Corpus Christi, Texas, the Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity will have its 5th Ordinary General Chapter.  The main purpose will be to elect new General Servants for each of the vocations: Priests & Brothers, Sisters, and Laity.  The secondary purpose will be, as Fr Rogel Rosalinas, the General Preist Servant state in his letter of convocation:
"The creation and formulation of administrative policies on Governance and Administration, on Ecclesial Teams and on our Missionary Endeavors.  This shall be in line with the present movement of the Holy Spirit speaking to us through the authorities of the Church."
letter  There will be 7 ex-officio members of this chapter from the General Priest council, 7 elected from the American Region, and 7 elected from the Asia-Pacific Region.  Besides the Regional Priest Servant, Fr Jose Roger Z.
