The Provincials spent the morning of the next-to-last day of the Council of the Congregation sharing ideas about the apostolic life, the important apostolates of the Congregation, and the continuation of our pastoral commitments.
The discussions of the assembly underlined the need to have a common project, drawn up in the local chapter of each community, in order to encourage sharing, mutual support, and enthusiasm for the extension of the Kingdom. Otherwise, we can easily fall into apostolic individualism.
Jean-Daniel Gullung
There exists, in each of our provinces, “flagship” apostolates whose
influence extends beyond the borders of the country in which they are
located. Assumption as a whole benefits from these apostolates. We
would all do well to join forces to help maintain the apostolic
vitality of these works: the university in Worcester, our educational
institutions, Bayard, etc.
After our group discussions, proposals were made pertaining to the
provincial and general levels regarding the reception, discernment, and
future of the vocations, sometimes numerous, that are coming to us from
countries where we are not present. The need to find formators and
religious who can accompany new vocations must be one of the priorities
of the provincials who, in turn, must be able to count on
interprovincial collaboration.
