Appointments of Delegates, Offices and Commissions

General Curia
Constitution of the Fraternities, Offices and Commissions

Dear Brothers,

May the Lord give you peace!

A year has passed since the conclusion of General Chapter LXXXV. At this time, the General Minister and his Council have been busy setting up - for a large part ex novo - the central fraternities (General Curia, International College, Loreto, Garbatella, Frascati) and of the various offices and commissions that serve the Order.

The search for staff has sometimes been really difficult and laborious. But availability was not lacking: may the brothers and circumscriptions who responded so generously be thanked.

Naturally, a big thank you also goes to the brothers who have served the Order in the commitments and roles entrusted to them over these years.

We hereby announce the appointments of the brothers called to serve the Order in various places and responsibilities.

We greet you fraternally and wish you all peace and good.

Br. Clayton Jaison Fernandes
General Secretary OFMCap
