The community of USA-West (California) is joining into the Province of the United States making itself a region within the Province.
California had been a Province until September 2013 when it was erected as a delegation dependent on the General Government. After a process of consultation, on the petition of the superior of the Delegation and with the acceptance of the Chapter of the US Province, the Superior General decreed the integration of the brothers of the US West into the Province. He has authorized the erection of a region on the part of the Provincial Superior.
On January 4, this comes in to effect. On that day, the new region will gather in La Verne, California in the presence of Johnathan Hurrell, the Provincial Superior. Moreover, to formalize the passage from Delegation to Region, the brothers have chosen a regional government, which is composed of Richard Danyluk (Regional), Pat Crowley (vicar) and Mike Barry (councilor).
The region of US-West has 18 members of whom 14 live in California.
