The Sisters of St Louis’ General Chapter Opening Ritual took place on the evening of September 30, 2021, in Accra, Ghana. In her opening speech which declared the General Chapter open, Institute Leader, Winifred Ojo SSL, stated, “We are therefore present here today because we are a people of hope, we are people with a vision ‘That all may be one’, people called and entrusted with the mission of spreading the good news of this oneness in our world and planet today, not by being a nice cosy and comfortable community, but by being disciples on mission, rooted in and witnessing to the oneness of the God within and among us, in our world and in the whole of creation. We are here not to represent our Areas or communities but to work together on behalf of the whole Institute to discern where this vision is leading us. We are here, not by our own power, but because ‘we believe in the love of our God’ who has called us here.”
