General council meeting

All the definitors returned by Saturday to be ready for two weeks of council meeting. We began the meeting on Monday morning with 111 points on the agenda, many more expected to arrive during the course of the meeting. There various issues to be treated major among them are the request for convoking provincial chapters in 2014. We also have many midterm reports which takes most of our times as they have to be presented by the area definitor and then another definitor makes his observation. It takes pretty much time. we have a wonderful climate and spirit of brotherhood and sharing. The meeting is also coupled with the new provincials meeting which will be held at Frascati. It is an annual feature where all the General Definitors and some officials from Curia participate. It is an encounter of the provincials who are animated in order to animate their respective provinces. It is well organised and prepared meeting by the General Secretary. It is first experience for Br. Clayton Fernandes, but he will do well as he began preparing well in advance.
