At a General Council Meeting in June 1994, approval was given for Vincentiana to be published in the 3 official languages of the Congregation – French, English and Spanish – starting with the first number of the year 1995. This allows us to reach (directly) almost 70% of all confreres.
Though we would have wished to increase the number of languages we found ourselves, much to our regret, up against many practical problems which seemed insurmountable, such as difficulties in regard to translation and cost of printing. In an effort to offset this difficulty, we have asked the Provincials concerned to let us know in which language they wish the publication to be sent to each of their houses. Besides, if an article appears in a language, other than the three mentioned above, we will send a copy as well as those sent to the countries speaking that particular language.
Generally one will find in each issue the following:
- Curia General – official report
- Features – i.e. an important aspect of our life and mission, undertaken underdifferent headings and in a series of articles.
- Studies -Articles on spirituality, history etc.
- Life of the Congregation – Articles dealing with important events, declarations and, at the appropriate time, a page given over to some important member on his death.
