Congregation : Province Plan
2004-2007 PROVINCE PLAN
The heart of our 2004-2007 Province Plan is its specific goals and actions that continue the process of re-visioning that led up to our 2001 Provincial Chapter and its resolutions. We hope that every aspect of our Province life will reflect a return to our origins and our sincere commitment to a missionary life faithful to the spirit and mission of St. Anthony Claret and the documents of our Congregation.
Our Founder knew very well that his fidelity to the Gospel-and that of his missionaries-would require concrete options as well as change, sacrifice, and even risk-taking reflective of the paschal mystery. Our Plan looks at our reality as missionaries in the context of the world, Church, Congregation and Province during this period of the 21st Century. We also consider the theological challenges that guide our witness as we, like Anthony Claret, proclaim with love the sacredness of human life, the dignity of community, and our commitment to justice for the poor, peace, and the integrity of all God's creation. As was true for our Founder, the love of Christ impels us to live our vocation in courageous, evangelizing and hope-filled ways-together and in service to the Word.
Specific areas of community life, ministry, vocations and formation, and general Province administration are central to our Province life and are addressed honestly in our Plan. The goals and actions in each of these areas will guide our Province decisions during the years from 2004-2007. Additional goals and actions can also be added, of course, as our discernment requires. Ongoing evaluation as well as unpredictable events in the life of our Church, world, Congregation and Province will make this necessary. May this Province Plan keep us faithful, relevant, prophetic and passionate!
