General Chapters discern the international priorities of the Society of the Sacred Heart. This reflects the fact that we are one Society with one mission. However it is up to each Province to discern at the local level its own ways of responding to these priorities.
Priorities of the Society of the Sacred Heart 2016 – 2024
General Chapter 2016 discerned four calls that will guide the Society for the next eight years. These calls are to:
-
- reach new frontiers
- live more humanly
- create silence
- be and to act as one body
In November 2016 the Australia New Zealand Province held a Special Purpose Assembly to receive the General Chapter calls. The process of unpacking the calls and discerning Province responses to them continues to unfold.
