Bethlehem - General Chapter

Saturday, on the 28th May, at 9:47, Fr. Gaspar Fernandez Perez was re-elected for six years as our Superior General of the Congregation of the Sacred Heart of Jesus of Betharram.

The proclamation of the vote was acclaimed by a lengthy standing ovation. Immediately after the session of the General Chapter was suspended to allow the religious to go in procession to the chapel lead by the novices, followed by the Dean (Patriarch) of the meeting, Fr A berto Pensa, carrying the relic of our father St. Michael Garicoits. During the the celebration, full of fervour and deep joy, Fr. Gaspar washed the feet of twelve religious representing the twelve Betharramite vicariates around the world. This gesture and this image is truly a sign of service of between brothers ... Let us give thanks to the Sacred Heart and entrust Father General to Our Lady of the Beautiful Branch!
