The 2020 Extended Council begins officially on January 12 with the opening ritual but Sisters began arriving from Bolivia, India, Tanzania and Norway a few days early. The early arrivals enjoyed the wonderful hospitality of the community at Casaletto in Rome while those arriving on January 11 made a short visit to Casaletto or came directly to Monte Cucco the ICC welcomed them under a sunny, blue sky. All was ready – bedrooms, meeting rooms, break room, communication office – before the group arrived.
