As part of the preparation for the 25th Congregational Chapter, the first online meeting with all members was held. Approximately 70 members participated in this initial meeting, joining from Germany, the United States, Korea, and Peru.

The meeting began with a welcoming address by the Congregational leader, Sr. Barbara, who introduced the theme of the Chapter and explained the purpose of the meeting. Participants were then divided into small groups of four to six members to share their reflections on the question, “What paths or possibilities do we see as leading toward the future of our Congregation?” These insights were later shared with the entire group.

The meeting also included prayers for the Chapter, offered as the opening and closing prayers in Korean and German, respectively.
