Rome, Thursday, July 19, 2012
We are already at the vigil of the Intercapitular Assembly (Rome, 2nd to 22th September, 2012) and we are continuing to prepare ourselves for this important moment in the life of the Institute. Speaking as General Council, we hope that the Assembly may be a time of profound sharing that will help us to better understand the situation of the mission, of the world and of our Institute in order to continue courageously our service using the resources available to us to the best advantage. We publish below the proposed Programme for the Intercapitular Assembly.
