INTRODUCTION

Sr. Yulita Marie Nanik Wijiyati, as provincial superior, opens the chapter on the 10th of May 2010. In her opening speech she emphasizes the aim of chapter is to discuss the future direction of the province for coming 6 years. It means the chapter members are invited actively to discuss the recommendations of the sisters in the province into policies. By using "Dynamic  Pastoral Method" the sisters in the province are involved in the process of chapter. The material discussions for the chapter come from the real situation of the province and it already discussed by all sisters in the province via working groups, community, region day meetings.
