Extended General Council ? Oceania

In idyllic autumn weather the General Council along with the Provincial Councils of Australia and New Zealand and the District Council of Melanesia gathered at Mittagong for the Extended General Council Meeting for Oceania – some 27 Brothers in all.

After the introductions and presentation by each of the Administrative Units on what is happening and what is emerging as the current issues, the pace and focus changed with the first of three sessions being given by Emili.

He is offering further reflections on the key areas that he wrote about in his Circular He Gave us the Name of Mary.

For each of these three sessions he takes one of the icons as his starting point.

So to date it has been a very reflective atmosphere. He asks some very direct questions for the participants to consider for themselves in their roles as Leaders.

Mittagong is looking at its glorious best and the visitors are enjoying the location and the wonderful way in which they are being looked after by the Brothers and staff here at The Hermitage.
