INSTALLATION OF NEW GENERAL ADMINISTRATION

There was an atmosphere of joy and celebration as the members of the General Chapter gathered in the Chapter hall to prepare for the installation of the new General Administration. Bearing their lighted candles, the Sisters and past administration led Sister Dia Stasiuk, General Superior;  Sister Lydia Anna Sawka, Vicar; and Councilors, Sister Mariela Rotzen, Sister Daniela Stefkova and Sister Nazariya Mykhaylyuk into the Chapel for Vespers.

The installation took place before the singing of “O joyful Light,” during which Sister Miriam Claire, past General and her Council handed over the symbols of office to Sister Dia and her Council.  Sister Miriam Claire offered words of support, fidelity and love to the incoming administration with an assurance of the prayers of all. No significant celebration in the Order is complete without gifts and flowers, and these were lovingly presented to the newly-elected General Superior and her Council.
Since God chose to place the seal of approval on this joyful gathering with rain and thunder, the banquet which followed took place under the protection of the covered part of the courtyard rather than in the courtyard proper. Nonetheless, there was no dampening of spirits in the festivities.
The Chapter will conclude its work on Wednesday, July 24, 2013.

10th General Chapter Opens

With great solemnity, the Opening Divine Liturgy for the 10th General Chapter of the Sisters of the Order of St. Basil the Great was celebrated by Archbishop Cyril Vasil, Secretary of the Congregation for the Oriental Churches in Santa Sofia. A ceremony designed by the Preparatory Commission preceded the Liturgy. Sister Miriam Claire, General Superior, and her Council presented each of the Capitulars and the assisting staff with a prayer shawl on which was emblazoned the Chapter Symbol, the Chapter dates and the country represented. This prayer shawl was designed as a symbol of the unity of the participants.
Following the Divine Liturgy, the participants received a lighted candle and in procession made their way back to the Chapter Hall. After a brief discourse, Archbishop Cyril Vasil blessed the Chapter hall, each Sister, and then called each by name. Each Sister then placed her candle before the symbols which had been placed on the stage. This concluded the opening ceremony and was followed by a festive meal shared in joy by all.
