From 30 June to 3 July 2025, our Santa Teresa Retreat Centre in La Plata (Argentina) hosted a meeting of the Major Superiors and their Councils from the Circumscriptions of the CICLA South (Province of Brazil South, General Delegation of Argentina, Commissariat of Chile and Vicariate of Uruguay-Paraguay), with the participation of Fr. Martín Martínez (Definitor General).
Our Father General Miguel Márquez enlightened us via Zoom on the profound meaning of the restructuring: it is about giving quality to our lifestyle and to our multicultural charismatic witness in the service of the People of God, and it cannot be reduced to a simple closure of presences.
Our commitment to this path does not stem from idealism or naivety, but from the truth that we have been able to grasp. This has led us to want to move forward in this process, counting on the positive elements already gathered and without ignoring the disadvantages that will arise. We entrust this journey to the protection of the Virgin Mary, Mother and Beauty of Carmel.
