Xaverian Missionaries of the Philippines

The last General Chapter developed some priorities in an effort to renew the Congregation at this stage of our history. All of us are asked to intensify our commitment of animation at all levels: the renewal of our charism and our sense of consecration; the clarification of our identity and the exclusive finality of our mission; the theoretical and existential deepening our Xaverian spirit; and her renewal of community life as international centers of kerygmatic witness. In this congregational commitment, we will find ourselves in the upcoming Assembly to discern and to make concrete decisions that lead us, in our unique context, toward these important priorities. We will look at the Ratio Missionis Xaveriana and see how it will help guide us in the local Philippine church as animators of mission “ad gentes.” We will also look at some important decisions that have a great impact on the future development of the Delegation. We will have a chance to pray, to break bread together, talk informally and come to know each other a little better than before. It will be our “karios” this month. See you there.

q The formation team of the theology presented nine applications for the renewal of vows to the Superior Delegate and Council. All nine were accepted. We offer congratulations and continued blessing in the discernment of their vocation to: Everaldo dos Santos, Ernesto Jaramillo, Bonifacio Gutierrez Garcia, Vicente Gudino Santana, Polash H. Gomes, Rafael Bardon Sedano, Alejandro Mares Millan, Philip Mondol and Ernesto Dal. Giovanni D’Elia and Eduardo Villena will renew temporary vows for up to the time of their final profession while we await a decision from the General Direction regarding them.
