As with the other four Regions of the Institute, RELAN was commissioned to publish a Bulletin following the Superior General’s pastoral visit. The COVID-19 pandemic changed those plans, with visits to the District of Francophone Canada and the District of Eastern North America (DENA) completed prior to the pandemic. As the pastoral visit began in the District of San Francisco New Orleans (SFNO) in March 2020, to be followed by a visit to the Midwest District, COVID-19 concerns began to intensify, and the visit was postponed and eventually canceled.
Bulletin 260 tells the story of RELAN as the Region lives into the realities of a world altered by the pandemic. The 100-page document provides insight into the Region’s history, strengths, innovations and challenges, along with a snapshot of life at the complicated moment in time during which this Bulletin was written. The Bulletin highlights the Region’s vitality, sustainability and resilience through exploring a variety of themes that bring the mission to life, including association for mission, shared leadership, evangelization, beyond the borders, culture of vocation, formation, Brothers, Young Lasallians and vitality and sustainability.
