The decision followed the resignation of Br Giampietro Pettenon, who after a long experience on the VIS board has taken up a new post in his home Salesian Province at Udine. The other member of the Executive Committee who has resigned is Fr Giordano Piccinotti, who has been appointed by Pope Francis as the President of the Administration of the Patrimony of the Apostolic See (APSA). VIS expressed gratitude to both for their active role and the spirit they infused and wished them the best of luck in their new posts.
The two new members of the Executive Committee will join the team already composed of its President Michela Vallarino, Marco Faggioli and Francesco Mele (both Vice-Presidents, the latter appointed by the Assembly of Participants), Jennifer Avakian and Stefano Di Maria.
