2019 Provincial Conference

In 2018, SCJs in active ministry came together for a Provincial Conference. The theme? How to live and minister together in a US Province that looks much different than even just a few years ago. It is a province that is filled with diversity: Dehonians from all over the world bringing the flavors of their own cultures but UNITED IN ONE DEHONIAN CHARISM. It is a province with men from Asia, Europe, Africa, South and North America. From January 8-10, 2019, Dehonians came together at the Provincial Conference Center in Hales Corners, WI, to continue the work that they began a year earlier, focusing on themes of multiculturalism and interculturality in community life, prayer and ministry. "It is my hope and the hope of the Provincial Council that this conference can be another step on the path to learning, as a community, how to intentionally live, pray and work together better, recognizing each other’s diversity but also our shared Dehonian values," said Fr. Ed Kilianski, SCJ, provincial superior. "As with the 2018 gathering, this conference is not an end, but a continuance, a work in progress." During the closing Mass, Dn. Juan Carlos Castañeda Rojas, SCJ, made his promises and profession of faith in preparation for his February 16 ordination to the priesthood.
