Chapter President herself Maria Soledad Galeron on the topics " Fill
the Jars with water " Jn. 2,1-11, certain numbers from the
Constitutions and 16th Chapter documents and on the orientation of
what a chapter is. 
At 5:00 in the afternoon we all

election of the working commissions and the Chapter Secretary for an
hour before the Eucharistic celebration followed.
August 2, the group were
introduce to approve the working paper we had.The presentation of the
Government report and the Adminstration. In the afternoon we were set
in groups to work -two groups for English and 1 for Japanese. In the
evening after dinner we took time to decorate our exhibit corners. it
was really great fun.
August 3, we continued with the
working group , afterwards we went on with the sessions in the chapter
room. The Priest presider of this day was the Provincial of the
Philippines Fr. Leo Dalmao, CMF. In his homily he said " the chapter
time is ABOUT GOD. WHAT GOD WANTS FROM US. It is also the moment were
obedience is at its height" .
It was a good time to know , to carry those thoughts as we end the day having been working on the pre-chapter document..
WE WOULD LIKE ALSO TO EXTEND OUR HEARTFELT GRATITUDE TO THOSE OF YOU WHO HAD SENT GREETINGS AND WITH US IN THEIR PRAYERS.
