Brothers and laity at the service of the Institute

There have been some changes in the General House in October. Br Roy Deita, who has been working as assistant to the Econome General for three years, returns to his Province of East Asia. In the restructuring of the Department of Financial Affairs and the management of the General House, the treasury services were confided to one person, Br Javier Ocaranza, and the accounting to Br Roy. From 1 October 2012, the accounting functions have been assured through a contract of outside services, with the presence of a professional, Mr Gabriele Raspatela, in his office in the General House three days a week, and the monthly supervision of another professional, Mrs Alò Maria Elena, of the same consultancy.

Gabriela Scanavino, who has been working in the General House for some years – the last 4 as translator into Spanish – presented her resignation the same month but will continue exercising her profession as a freelance.

FMSI has a new collaborator for three months in the person of Luisa Cagnazzo, who has already commenced work. Luisa will help the Rome team in current office duties, especially in the management of projects, looking for financing, and updating the web page of the Foundation.
