The president of the Union of Superiors General, Friar Mauro Jöhri – superior general of the Capuchin Friars – announced on June 19 the appointment of Brother Emili Turú Rofes as the new secretary general of the Union of Superiors General.

“We are happy to collaborate as an institute through Brother Emili in this important inter-congregational organisation that brings together all the male religious congregations of the world,” affirmed Br Ernesto Sánchez Barba, current superior general of the Marist Brothers.

In his letter of appointment, Friar Mauro mentions the active and enriching participation of Brother Emili at the USG during his years as superior general of the Marist Brothers.

Brother Emili will begin this service in Rome, Italy, in the office of the USG, in March 2019 and will be part of the Marist community of San Leone Magno.
