Mexico - Formation week for MEG Rectors and Provincial Council
Amatitán, Mexico - July 2022 - The Rectors of the various Salesian communities and members of the Provincial Council of the Mexico-Guadalajara Province (MEG) met from July 10 to 15 in the house for Spiritual Exercises to participate in their annual formation week. The work focused on seeking greater integration between Rectors and Councilors. Most of the week was devoted to four tasks: the handover-receipt of documentation and reports between the outgoing and newly appointed Rectors, accompanied in this process by the Provincial, Fr. Filiberto González; the discussion that each Rector had with the Provincial and each Council member, which offered the Rectors indications to be considered as part of the governing protocol for the pastoral year about to begin; an in-depth discussion on the new Provincial Organic Project (POI), presented last June, with a view to its inclusion in the new community and educational-pastoral programs; the presentation by the Rectors of useful contributions for the next Provincial Chapter, on issues raised by the Chapter, and on the Provincial Directory. On the last day, after listening to and dialoguing with those in charge of vocation promotion in the Province, Fr. González spoke, offering the Rectors a series of indications on how best to carry out their service to the Salesians and young people.
