The Origin of the Guidelines for Regular CMS Meetings

On June 16, 2008, the National Coordinator, Mary Lou Regala presented to the Novaliches Chapter an outline of the guidelines to be followed during regular meetings. This was conceived with the following objectives in mind:

1. To conduct an orderly meeting the CMS way;
2. To adopt a common set of guidelines for all the chapters in the Philippines;
3. To enable the members to be true to the CMS identity; and
4. To reinforce the bond of communion among the CMS members.

The Novaliches Chapter, with the National Spiritual Adviser, Sr. Julie Propera, cm, were very receptive of the idea, and even contributed greatly to the inception of the guidelines and applied them during the meetings that followed. When they saw that it was good, they recommended that these be presented to all the chapters in the Philippines.
