From Fr. Marty Solma

Dear Brothers:
General Administration
The members of the General Administration will arrive in St. Louis on Sunday evening. They will join the West Pine staff for prayer on Monday morning, followed by a meeting with the Provincial Council. On Tuesday, they will begin their Province visitation with the communities and ministries in Hawai'i. The first part of their visit will conclude on Nov. 1 when they return to Rome for a month. They return to the Province for the first three weeks of December, ending their visit with a meeting with the Provincial Council on Dec. 19.

The General Council: Fr. Andr� F�tis, Bro. Michael McAward, Fr. Manuel Cort�s and Bro. Max Magnan
|
Thanks to the area coordinators who have organized visits to communities and ministries, and to the community directors who have accommodated visitation times. The GA will get a panoramic view of the life and ministries of the Province. Because they will visit each Province member, the Provincial Council will not make regular visits to communities this year. If there are any concerns about the schedule, please contact Pat Stephens.
Let's pray that their visit is a moment of grace for our Province.
Mexico
 I will be in Quer�taro, Mexico, for the feast of the Holy Name of Mary to install Fr. Raymundo Dom�nguez Gonz�lez as superior for the Sector of Mexico. Thanks to Fr. Raymundo for his willingness to accept this new responsibility and to Bro. Ed Longbottom who has served as superior for the past six years. Fr. Manolo Cort�s and Bro. Max Magnan will visit the Sector of Mexico as part of their Province visitation.
