The Irish Dominicans are due to elect a new provinical tomorrow. The term lasts four years.
Every four years a 'chapter' convenes and along with electing a provinical it plans policy for the next four years.
The chapter lasts approximately two weeks. In the two days before the chapter all memebrs of the province were invited to attend open sessions.
Yesterday Sister Helen Mary Harmey spoke to the assembled Dominicans, women and men.
She spoke courageously of her understanding of Dominican life. She thanked the men for their support and cooperation, was saddened by the criminal behaviour of the few. She was grateful for the fine preaching of many but was concerned about a clericalism that she felt did damage to the Domiican charism.
Invited representatives spoke of their stewardship, hopes and plans for the Dominican Order.
