The General Chapter, celebrated for the first time in Canada, certainly didn't have for the capitulars coming from other countries the same attraction that preceding chapters had, which were held in Rome or at least in Europe. But Quebec had on this occasion put on its splendid autumnal colours and the warm welcome of the sisters. This made up for the seasonal freshness.

The sessions began with a three day retreat animated by Father Ghislain Cossette, sss, of Quebec, who enabled us to enter into the personal and communal experience of the Eucharist by referring to biblical personages like Moses, the Samaritan woman, the adulteress, Thomas etc.

FATHER Eugenio Barbosa Martins, SSS, Superior General of the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament visited Dublin, Ireland last October 3-5, 2011. The Congregation administers the Blessed Sacrament Chapel located at the heart of the City of Dublin.

During his visit, Fr. General had the opportunity to meet the religious of the Congregation that are assigned in Dublin. A special meeting was made with the Council of the Province of Saints Peter and Paul (British-Irish Province).  He also  met the three candidates for Novitiate of the Province who are going to the St. Anne Province (USA) for their novitiate formation in January 2012. The LITE team too had the  opportunity to meet our beloved Superior General.
