Provincial Superior Steve Rehrauer and Provincial Vicar Mat Kessler have been representing the Denver Province at the Phase I meeting of the General Chapter for the Conference of North America for the past two weeks.
Br. Larry Luján also is participating, representing the Redemptorist Brothers in North America.
“The decision to structure the Chapter in three phases was intended to involve as many confreres as possible in the Chapter. It has raised the awareness that we need to look at our local reality in light of the bigger context, and it has provided our local communities with an opportunity to participate more directly in the process,” explained Fr. Steve. “Representatives from the North American Conference are discussing and discerning the challenges and issues identified worldwide, preparing for the Phase 2 canonical meeting scheduled in Bangkok this November. Hopefully, this process makes us all feel a bit more connected to the Chapter.”
