The meeting of the newly elected Superiors
normally takes place each year at the beginning of January in
Frascati, Italy. Each time those ministers who are newly elected
or nominated for the first time in the preceding year are invited
to this gathering. The program unfolds in two parts: first of
all, the participants meet with the Minister General and his Definitors,
who dwell on the themes relevant to the animation of the Capuchin
Order. In the second part, various offices and institutions central
to the General Curia and to the Order are presented to the group.
