Rome, Italy - May 2022 - On May 1, the work of the Provincial Chapter of the Vice-Province "Mary Seat of Wisdom" of the Salesian Pontifical University (UPS) concluded. The second work session began on the afternoon of April 29, with the approval of the first session’s minutes, held on January 7 and 8, and the refinement of the contents and the methodological choice by the Assembly, to arrive on the morning of May 1 at the voting of the final document. During this time, the Chapter members took into consideration all the work done in the various communities of the Vice-Province during the intermediate period between the two sessions. The theme of the chapter "Which Salesian for the Salesian Pontifical University today? Identity and Formation" was divided into six thematic nuclei: 1) The identity of the Salesian at UPS and his "relational" constitution; 2) The search for God and the itinerary of faith; 3) "Permanent" formation as a mentality, commitment, and lifestyle; 4) Accompaniment; 5) Mission; 6) Economy and administration. The regulator of the Chapter, Fr Giuseppe Ruta, led the work in the plenary assembly, while the three commissions were engaged in defining and focusing the different nuclei under the guidance of the three Presidents: Fr Diego Vanzetta, Fr Antonio Escudero, and Fr Jesus Manuel Garcia. On May 1, Fr Arokiam Maria Kanaga, Superior of the Vice-Province, concluded the work of the Chapter. The final document will now be sent to the Rector Major for approval, but most of the operational choices will be implemented starting from the next meeting of the Council of the Vice-Province, as Fr Kanaga reiterated.
