In response to a request from the Provincial Government of Iberia a PowerPoint Presentation on the General Chapter has been prepared for all the brothers of the Iberian Province. Included in the presentation are comments from those brothers of the Province who took part in the Chapter.
Most of the visits are taking place around this time. In those communities where the visit of the Provincial Government will take place later, in January or February, some effort is being made to give advance insights into the Chapter, so that brothers do not have to wait too long.
For exactly this reason, on Sunday, 9th December, in the afternoon, brothers from the communities of Jerez, San Fernando and Málaga met in Casa de Espiritualidad Padre Damián in Jerez de la Frontera for a presentation of the Chapter. As well as the Provincial, Fr. Felipe Félix Lazcano was also present to give his vision of the Chapter. Felipe is now in the community of Málaga. After the meeting, there was time for some refreshments.
After this first presentation of the Chapter to the communities, various other initiatives are being proposed so that the General Chapter may be an influence upon the Province. Among them, in February next year there will be the meeting of superiors and local superiors of the Iberian Peninsula. This meeting will be attended by the Superior Generals of the brothers and sisters. They have been asked to present their respective chapter documents related to mission.
