GENERALMv. LIRIA Rome, January 4, 2005 Feast of St. Elisabeth Ann Seton To the members of the Congregation of the Mission Dear Brothers, May the grace and peace of Our Lord Jesus Christ fill Your hearts now and forever! This circular has to do with some of the conclusions of our latest tempo forte meeting, which was held from 13-17 December, with two additional days on 22 and 23 December. 1) We decided to have an extraordinary council meeting that will be held from 21-23 February to discuss and reflect on all the matters dealing with our most recent General Assembly: the document itself, the evaluation of the General Assembly, a deeper discussion of the ordinances, postulate that were presented (especially that recommended to the Superior General and his council), etc. 2) A date was established for an ordinary council meeting to take a look at the final draft of the newly revised Directory for the Directors of the Daughters of Charity. We discussed the possibility of a training program for new Directors. That matter will be discussed further, after having heard the opinion of the Mother General and her council. 3) We also discussed the possibility oI preparing someone as Archivist and Procurator General , who would eventually replace Fr. Rolando DelaGoza. 4) We treated financial matters, with a full report from the Treasurer General . Among the things that we studied, reviewed, made recommendations about and approved were the budgets for the Vincentian Family Office, the Vincentian Family Website, the CM UN NGO Representative, the Vincentian Solidarity Office. We also approved the budget for the History of the Congregation that is being prepared by two of our confreres and the budget of SIFiV. We also reviewed, made proposals, and 4 G. G. Gay approved the budgets for the international missions of the Solomon Islands and El Alto, Bolivia. We also reviewed the annual Mission Fund Distribution, within the Treasurer General's report, and made the decision that the presidents of CLAPVI , COVIAM and APVC will be sent a formulary for Mission Fund Distribution , to help %yith the meetings of the Visitors themselves and also meetings that have to (1,o with the formation of fortnator:s. A letter will be written to each of the presidents explaining this decision. 5) Following the Treasurer General's report, other reports were made. The first was from Brother Peter Campbell, who was present fr om the Vincentian Solidarity Office . The Vincentian Solidarity Office is handling more than 15 major projects, submitted from different provinces. Brother Peter made a proposal to the council to begin micro-project grants up to S5000 with the Vincentian Solidarity Fund. Revenue sources for micro-project grants are the contributions made by confreres, local communities, and provinces to the Vincentian Solidarity Fund in response to the appeal of the Superior General in October of last year. A letter explaining the micro-project grants will he sent to all the confreres, throueh their Visitors, from the administrator, Brother Peter Campbell. One of the novelties of these micro-project grants is that the requests can be submitted in Spanish , French or English, the three official languages of the Congregation. This differs from the policy for major Vincentian Solidarity Office projects. 6) The council also reviewed the report of the Vincentian Family website, submitted by its weburaster, Fr. John Ireuud. Among the different things discussed was how to encourage provinces, \'isitois, confreres to send information to the website so that we can more effectively tell the store of how we are living out our charism in serving the poor. In a later circular I will speak at greater length concerning this issue. 7) We also reviewed the report from the NGO at the United Nations presented by Fr. Joseph Foley, who is the representative of the Congregation there. The report in itself was extremely interesting and we are asking his permission to publish it on the Vincentian Family website. In summar y, advocacy work happens most effectively when it is done in committed working groups, with products that are seen as credible. An individual NGO can rarely have the same impact as an effective committee. You are all encouraged to check out the website that the Congregation has for the NGO with the following address: www.cm-nao.net 8) We received a full report from SIEV . The Superior General and his council continue to support SIEV as an instrument for Rome. January 4. 2005 helping to spread the knowledge of the Congregation of the Mission and its charism among our members and other members of the Vincentian Family. The possibility of inviting one of the members of' the CIF team to participate as a member of SIFV was discussed and will be presented to both SIEV and CIF for their consideration. 9) Fr. Jose Antonio Uhilluis discussed with its a memorandum with regard to the CIF program , where we continue to see its importance for all members of the Congregation. Once again, we encourage all Visitors to take seriously the invitation that their confreres participate in this program of our Vincentian heritage.
