(ANS – Turin) – After intense days of spiritual preparation, culminating in the pilgrimage to Colle Don Bosco and reflections led by the Rector Major Emeritus, Fr. Pascual Chávez, yesterday marked the first working day of the 29th General Chapter (GC29). It was a crucial moment to define the organization and operational methods that will guide the activities of the coming weeks.

The work began with particular attention to the definition of regulations, the formation of commissions, and the adoption of innovative technological tools to improve decision-making processes. As emphasized by Fr. Alphonse Owoudou, the Chapter’s Moderator, the regulations are essential to set the scope of decisions and establish procedures that will lead to deliberations.
