On October 24th, in the Seminary of Saint Vincent de Paul (Santiago, Chile) the formation session for local superiors was initiated … this opportunity for on-going formation was sponsored by CLAPVI.
Father Corpus Delgado (Zaragoza) animated and directed this encounter. Using the Practical Guide for the Local Superior, Father facilitated the participants in their reflection on the ministry of the local superior and on the exercise of authority as service for communion and the mission. These reflections were enriched by the congregational experiences of Father Corpus and by the contributions from the various confreres. In light of the Constitutions and the Statutes of the Congregation of the Mission and some other ecclesial documents, the participants attempted to give new life to the Practical Guide.
