Background
The Conference of European Visitors is composed of the provinces of Europe and the Middle East. (Abbreviated CEVIM)
CEVIM has as its goal the promotion of information and collaboration among these provinces in the area of formation and mission.
CEVIM looks to a better understanding of the Vincentian Family, and to a deepening of the Vincentian spirit by promoting contacts and exchanges in the area of formation and missionary activity, and by developing methods and means for the initiation of youth in the Vincentian spirit.
The council (troika) is formed of:
- The Visitor of the province where the meeting was held the previous year;
- The Visitor of the province where the next meeting will be held during the current year;
- The Visitor of the province where the meting will be held the following year. This “new” visitor will be chosen at the end of the annual meeting.
The Visitors jointly name a secretary, who is not a Visitor, for a term of three years, renewable once.
Within the framework of the new evangelization recommended by the Holy Father, CEVIM will promote all kinds of pastoral collaboration among the provinces in the launching of new initiatives on a Europe-wide level, such as mission projects and language study, etc.
CEVIM will set up links with the General Curia and with other Conferences of Visitors existing in the Congregation.
