Below are photos of the Opening Ritual of the African Province Assembly, currently taking place in Lagos, Nigeria.

Sisters were called up based on their location by Philomena Aidoo, Province Leader. Each ministry location presented a symbol that described for them the essence of SHCJ  in that location. Part of this ritual included calling open the Assembly and Chapter.

In some photos you can see sisters walking around the room and engaging with others, asking each other what their expectations and hopes were for the coming days.
