Team works on the economic-financial part of the Administrative Guide

With the approval of the new Constitutions and Statutes of the Institute, it is necessary to draw up an Administrative Guide that takes into account the changes. This normative and, at times, orienting instrument must guide the governance and management of the various aspects that govern the life and mission of the Institute.

The Administrative Guide has two main sections: one refers to those aspects that regulate the life of the Marist Brothers and the form of organization of the administrative units; the other concerns the economic and financial management of the congregation. 

The first part is under the responsibility of the Brother Secretary General while the second is the responsibility of the Econome General.

From December 5 to 8, a team met at the General House to begin the work that is the responsibility of the Econome General. This team, under the direction of Brother Jorge Gaio, Econome General, is composed of Alfie Custodio (East Asia), Rosangela Specht (Brasil Centro-Sul), Alejandro Cáceres (América Central), Citizen Tamatimu (Star of the Sea), Br. Alfonso Fernández (Iberica), Br. Innocent Iloabueke (Nigeria) and Br. Gregorio Linacero (General Administration).

This work will be carried out in stages and is expected to be completed by 2025.
