Cardinals João Braz de Aviz (Prefect of the Dicastery for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life) and Mario Grech (Secretary General of the Synod of Bishops) sent a joint letter to all the general governments that are members of the USG (Union of Superior’s General of men’s institutes of religious life) and UISG (International Union of Superiors General of women’s relgious institutes), inviting them to “reflect on the exercise of governance within institutes and the relations between the various institutes” (17 January 2022), as a way of actively participating in the Synod process on synodality. The present document (In French, Italian, Spanish and English) reflects the contributions that were received. We recommend the document for your study and for use in your work with members of the Chevalier Family worldwide, in all its branches.
The Synod on Synodality has been inaugurated in October 2021 by Pope Francis and will culminate with the celebration of the XVI Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops in October 2023. This event represents a new stage in ecclesial life that invites us to generate processes of conversion and reform in order to build a Synodal Church for this third millennium.
The USG and the UISG, together with CLAR and several regional Bishops’ Conferences, are promoting a free online training programme on the theology and practice of synodality in Spanish, English, Portuguese, French and Italian. The first course on “Common Discernment and Decision-Making in the Church” starts in July. It is aimed at all members of the People of God
