We all are aware of the hard time humanity is going through, the health crisis brought about by the COVID 19 pandemic, where many human losses have occurred and where new scourges have begun to emerge, such as isolation, loneliness, unemployment, poverty, hunger and other situations which are known to everyone.
During this time, many confreres have contacted the communication office, contributing articles and reflections on how to face this challenge. But there have also been important initiatives to provide care to the most vulnerable people, the elderly, the sick and the poor.
Today we want to reach out to the Provinces with a series of live broadcasts in which the Assistants General will engage in dialog with some Visitors about these circumstances and how they perceive the future of the Congregation.
In this initiative the Communications Office wants to communicate provinces together, especially at this time. We will do this using our Facebook channel, @congregaciondelamision
During the dialogue, the Visitors will respond to three key issues:
- How the confreres of your province have been living the reality of the Pandemic, what measures have been taken and how they are getting through this moment.
- How are they addressing or what initiatives have they taken in the service to the poor, either as a Congregation or as a Vincentian Family. You might give some specific examples.
- In a personal reflection, share with us how the Congregation of the Mission can look to the future after the pandemic crisis is over.
The dates when this initiative will be broadcasted are as follows:
Monday, May 4: Languages: Italian and French
Wednesday, May 6: Languages: Spanish and English
Friday, May 8: Languages: Spanish and Portuguese
Monday, May 11: Language: Spanish
Wednesday, May 13: Language: English
