Sisters from Brazil, Jamaica, Bolivia and the United States have started arriving at St. Elizabeth Motherhouse in Allegany for the Franciscan Sisters of Allegany General Chapter, which starts Sunday. Congregational Minister Sister Margaret Magee (second from left) greets Sister Maria Jose Monteiro from Brazil as sisters Geane Araujo da Silva and Jaiane Cerqueira dos Santos, also from Brazil, look on. Because of the Covid pandemic, the sisters held their 2021 Chapter virtually. The last in-person Chapter was in 2016. (Anne Holliday)
