Dec. 2019 North American Councils Meeting

“WE ARE HERE NOT ONLY TO CONTINUE A TRADITION, but also to commit ourselves to the future of our congregation in North America,” said Fr. Gustave Lulendo, SCJ, in his opening remarks at the December 6 meeting of the administrations of the US Province and Canadian Region. Approximately twice a year the North American councils get together to dialogue on shared concerns, seek ways of collaboration, and simply connect so that each is mindful of the people, ministries and issues of their neighbors across the border. Appointed just this year as regional superior, this was Fr. Gustave’s first time hosting the event; the meeting took place in Toronto.
