Italy – Meeting of Economers in the Salesian Central Italy Circumscription
Rome, Italy – November 2024 - Continuous legislative changes and the desire to achieve the objectives that the Church and the Salesian Congregation indicate as best practices for the good life impose the need to meet and be formed. This is what the Economers, the Coordinators of Administrative Management (CGA in Italian) and the Rectors of the houses in Central Circumscription, Italy (ICC) did in Rome at the Provincial House on 27 and 28 November. The programmme, busy and well organised by the Provincial Economer, Fr Francesco Valente, and his collaborators, saw several consultants take turns as speakers to present some legislative innovations and proposals in terms of sustainable electricity supply. The theme that held the session for part of the morning and for the entire afternoon was the one relating to photovoltaic systems, whose implementation meets two fundamental requirements: financial savings and a response to the 8th action guidelines of GC28. Presented by the ‘Fratello Sole’ Consortium, of which the Province is a member, are the CERS, responsible and solidarity-based energy communities: a way to share the energy produced by specially united photovoltaic cells, set up in order to reinvest what is saved in goods and/or services available to the community. Another issue addressed was tax reform. On 28 November, the Rectors were added to address two other very important issues: the final budget of the Province for the year 2023 and the new Code of Ethics. The morning then saw the presentation, by lawyer Anna Rita Zedda, of the innovations introduced by Legislative Decree 81/2008 that led to the modification of the already existing Code of Ethics adopted by the Salesian Works throughout Italy.
