A Word About the Exercise of our Mission

For some time our Province has tried to restructure and rethink the exercise of our mission. We believe that this is an inspiration from the Holy Spirit for it appears in the XV General Chapter as well. During these days, we have formulated some actions to exercise our mission in the United States. Later this evening, we will decide which actions will be incorporated into our final document. These specific actions will determine our work and priorities during the following six years. Pray that we may be faithful to our mission in the Church.

The following text is taken from our XV General Chapter:


Rethinking the exercise of our mission means that the entire Congregation, each Province and community, must continue the discernment made by this Chapter and apply it to their specific situations in carrying out what the Spirit asks of us to exercise our mission, rooted in our charismatic identity, with greater transparency and significance. We are not changing our specific mission or starting anew, rather, we must rethink the spaces, structures and pastoral methods, with creativity and freedom, taking our personal reality with serenity and intelligence (cf. CD 203.4)
