Preparation for the 125th anniversary of the congregation

What's New?

Justice & Peace

Mary Gorski, director of communications for the US Province, will be attending the Justice & Peace conference in Montréal (October 1 - 10, 2002) as a journalist for the congregation. She will be publishing daily reports on the meeting, similar to what she did at both the last general chapter and the general conference in Recife. Her reports will be written in English, we hope to provide translations in both French and Italian. While we will post these reports on our website we also will send them via email directly to those interested parties. The email method was used at the XXth General Chapter and has the advantage of being received in a more timely manor. Those wishing to receive these email reports please send your email address and preferred language (English, French or Italian) to Mary Gorski at: mgorski@execpc.com

NB Please send your email address on or before September 27, 2002.
