From 22 to 26 July a meeting of the Major Superiors of CICLA SOUTH\u00a0 was held in the Monastery of St. Teresa in Curitiba (Brazil).\u00a0 The following Circumscriptions were represented: the Province of Brazil South; the Vicariate of Uruguay-Bolivia-Paraguay; the General Delegation of Argentina and the Commissariat of Chile.\u00a0 The meeting discussed the proposal of the General Definitory relating to the geographical presence of the Order, with the precise suggestion that our region might become a single Province.<\/p>\n

We had a very cordial fraternal meeting with a serious discussion on the current realities of our Circumscriptions.\u00a0 It commenced with an examination of our statistical data and the opinions of the brethren.\u00a0 In a concluding document we included all this data, divided under the two headings of \u201cadvantages\u201d and \u201cdisadvantages\u201d of a possible unification.\u00a0 We proceeded to discuss the question of initial Formation.\u00a0 This was seen as a priority and we sought to formulate a programme with the assistance of existing systems in CICLA.\u00a0 Finally, we mentioned some gospel and charismatic reasons for embracing a shared pathway.<\/p>\n

Our final document offers an ample reflection on\u00a0 the reality and the urgent needs of the Church today, in a way that might encourage our brothers to become actively involved in this present historical moment and to respond with gospel courage to the needs of our time.\u00a0 The Superiors present were in agreement that they would continue in a process of concretizing the proposal of the General Definitory.<\/p>\n
