As we gather in the Chapter room each day, we see colorful ribbons with the names of each sister & associate who is unable to be physically present with us due to ministry, family or health concerns. We have certainly felt the power of their prayer carrying us through these first days.
Did you know, however, that even though they are not here with us at Monmouth College, they are able to follow the Chapter closely via the internet? Our 21st General Chapter is also our 1st “Virtual Chapter.” Our communications committee has set up a Chapter blog called “The Crossing Place.” You can access the blog by clicking on the Chapter logo at the bottom of
our CSJP website. It contains articles from the daily “Crossings” newsletter, audio recordings of our keynote speakers (called “podcasts”), short video clips of prayer rituals, and pictures of our Chapter events.
The Chapter blog has received more than 50 visits (or “hits”) each day of the Chapter, from familiar places such as Federal Way, Jersey City, and Derbyshire. Bob Chambers has even accessed the blog from Kuwait where he is currently on a business trip!
Angie Picardo sent these words by e-mail from Everett, Washington: “I LOVE the Chapter on the internet. ... I feel I am participating with you all even though I am not there physically. Now I am not only with you in Prayer and Spirit I am with you on the internet.”
