This was the first meeting with the superiors of the units after the extraordinary visits to the geographic areas. Fundamentally, the objectives of the first meeting of this kind and those scheduled later in the Congregation are as follows:
1. Share the experience of the Extraordinary Visits to the geographic areas and discuss the issues that have emerged.
2. Continue to contribute to the Commissions of Apostolic Plan and Restructuring.
3. Discuss how we can continue to encourage, facilitate and accompany the restructuring processes that have already begun.
The superiors are committed to visiting each of their communities and planning the assemblies in which they continue and deepen the commitment of the Conference and the Congregation.
We appreciate the courteousness of the Vice Province of Resistencia, Argentina, and the sharing with the Alumni, with the formators and other members of this these Redemptorist units.
