General Assembly IFC-TOR 2025 in Assisi

Under the theme “Franciscans, Repair my World”, the General Assembly of the Institutes and Monasteries of the Brothers and Sisters of the Third Order Regular of St. Francis took place from May 11 to 15, in which Sr. M. Emanuela participated as a delegate. The brothers and sisters from all over the world celebrated the 800th anniversary of the Canticle of the Sun and, in three very inspiring talks by Fr. David Couturier OFMCap, delved deeper into God’s great plan for the restoration of the world. The lectures will be published shortly on the homepage www.ifc-tor.org. On May 15, the 68 General Ministers and delegates present elected the President Sr. Daisy Kalamparamban (India), General Minister of the Franciscan Handmaids of the Good Shepherd, and her new Council: Vice-President Sr. Lorella Chiaruzzi (Italy), Sr. Pacyfika Leman (Poland), Sr. Georgette Ngom (Senegal), Sr. Mary Elizabeth Imler (USA) and Sr. Rute Almeida Guimarães (Brazil).
