Fr. John W. Gouldrick, incoming Treasurer General, was named, on 9 October, the new Superior of the Curia by the Superior General and his Council. Fr. John took over his new responsibility during the Eucharist on 11 October in the presence of the members of the community.
Fr. G. Gregory Gay, Superior General recalled the words that St. Vincent de Paul directed to Fr. Antoine Durand when he was named local superior of the Seminary in Agde. Fr. John also spoke a few words, insisting that we build the life of the community together.
Fr. Alfredo Becerra Vázquez was named, on 11 October, Local Assistant. We hope that these nominations will contribute to the good progress of the General Curia. Congratulations to Frs. John and Alfredo on their new appointments. We assure them of our prayer so that they might carry out the service entrusted to them responsibly and joyfully.
