On 12 January 2015, Regional Leaders from seven countries gathered in Singapore for a Leadership general meeting. This meeting is an opportunity for leaders to listen and share and explore what it means to be a Franciscan Leader in today’s world.

On the opening night, all the visitors had a special welcome into our house in SINGAPORE — in the traditional Indian, Chinese and Peranakan way.

Traditionally such international meetings have been held in Ladywell, our Motherhouse in UK so this meeting is a significant moment in our Congregation’s story.

The meeting will lasts for 14 days.  We offer our prayers and support for all those attending as they discern and search for all that God is asking of us in these challenging times for mission.
