During our Chapter, Sr Connie and I spent quite a lot of time as did many others thinking about how to share the Chapter message . . . We decided that it would be really a good idea to share it with all our friends, co-operators and helpers together with the FMA communities.

Realising that travel is never easy we also thought to do it in three places. . . London, Cowley and Glasgow . . . as it turned out we managed that and squeezed in another session with our staff in the brand new and recently opened St John Bosco Arts College in Croxteth as well as a session in Blundellsands.

The message of the Acts of the Chapter, "Broaden our Horizons, and be with the young missionaries of Hope and Joy!" has now spread far and wide so watch this space for the next steps we will also be sharing of how to do this in our context in the coming year.

I think the photos speak for themselves of the inspiration people took from this message and the connection many felt with the challenges, changes of mentality and choices which emerged from the Chapter ably helped to keep our feet on the ground by the presence of our laity and young people!
