The worst snow storm of the season, which left up to 50 centimeters of snow in parts of the area around Boston, delayed by one day the gathering of sixteen delegates and six lay associates for the Chapter of the Province of North America.

But despite the snow, the participants at the Chapter were happy to see once again so many brothers and friends who had come together from every part of the Province: Mexico, Quebec, the Philippines, the United States. Fr. Richard will be representing the General Council during the Chapter.

 The first day is dedicated to presentations by lay leaders of important apostolates in the Province (Dr. Francesco Cesareo for Assumption College and Bret Thomas and Suzanne Spino for Bayard-US and Bayard-Canada), as well as to the lay participants at the Chapter. The weather is cold (it gets no warmer than minus 5 degrees centigrade), but the ambiance inside could not be warmer or more fraternal.
