The Provincial Chapter of the British Province ended on Friday afternoon (1st April). Thirty five members attended the Chapter which was held at the Royal Foundation of St Katherine's in Limehouse, London.

The main tasks of the Provincial Chapter were to look at the Implementation of the GC27, to determine the criteria and guidelines for the reshaping of the Salesian presences of the Province, the revision and re-writing of the Province Directory and a piece of AOB looking at the Province response to the recent announcement on Academies by the Government.

Led by the Moderator Fr Bob Gardner SDB the Chapter members explored the main tasks and celebrated being 'Province'.

Prayers and 'Good nights' were shared by all the Communities of the Province, whilst Fr Michael Winstanley SDB, Fr Kieran Anderson SDB and Fr Martin Coyle SDB presided at the Eucharist.

Thanks are offered to all for a wonderful week, but especially to the preparation committee who worked with Fr Bob - namely, Fr Francis Preston SDB, Fr Kieran Anderson SDB, Fr Graham Forristalle SDB and Fr Saju John SDB. Thanks also to the Chapter steering committee of Fr Michael Winstanley SDB, Fr Gerry Briody SDB and Fr Andrew Ebrahim SDB.
