Rome, Italy – The Intercapitular Assembly is underway at the Generalate, and runs from March 4-17, 2018. Bringing together the Superior General, General Councilors, Brother Visitors and Auxiliary Visitors, and appointed delegates, this Assembly marks the midpoint between General Chapters. Purposes for the gathering include reviewing the progress made in implementing the vision of the 45th General Chapter in 2014, and paying attention to the emerging priorities leading to the 46th General Chapter in 2021.  The Intercapitular Assembly has no legislative value but offers the opportunity to share experiences and identify the objectives on which to work on to improve the Lasallian mission.

Our Brother Visitors, Dennis Lee, Thomas Casey, and Richard Galvin will be providing updates as time allows, and you can find them here in this post. Also follow the social media feeds and other posts from our Brothers’ Districts of RELAN!

Tom Gramc, was once a Contact, considering the Christian Brothers’ vocation. While God may have called him in a different direction, we are proud of this Central Catholic graduate in that he serves the Church, and that he spent time in discernment with us. Let us continue to invite young people to consider God’s call, and their life’s vocation!

From Br. Larry Schatz – Visitor of the Midwest District – Intercapitular 2018 is off and running!

Last evening as I sat in the English-speaking “Den” at a pre-dinner social, I gazed around the room and marveled at the variety of cultures present: Brother Damien from Ireland, Brother Paul from Singapore, Brother Ghebres from Kenya, and Brother Florent from Canada, along with several others from around the globe—and these are just the “Anglophones”! It is a blessing to be reawakened to the global reality of our Institute.  More >
