Dehonian Family 

Rome, 22 May 1998
Prot. N. 135/98

Reverend Fathers Provincial and Regional Superiors,

As the one responsible, at the General level, for the animation of "Spirituality and Apostolate " and that of "the Dehonian Family", I have decided to write to you and I ask you to excuse me for the extra work that comes with these various questions. I believe, that in these days when we are waiting for the gifts of the Holy Spirit, you are the ones with whom I can best collaborate for the good of our Congregation and for all those whom the Lord has invited to be his faithful and effective followers.

In regard to the section for "Spirituality and Apostolate" I would like to know:

  1. How is this area being organised in your Province ?
  2. What is the programme for these five years?
  3. Who is the president or those responsible2 to whom I can refer?
  4. What do you expect of the General Government in regard to this area of animation.? Let me know your suggestions?
  5. How are you collaborating, in this section, with the other Provinces and Regions of the same geographical area?
Taking into account what has been organised in our project "We as Congregation" (nn 25.26.27.52), I would appreciate your collaboration by sending me your answers to the following short questionnaire on the Dehonian Family.
  1. As well as SCJ, are there other groups (religious and / or laity ) of the Dehonian family in your province? Si &endash; No
  2. If there are such groups, what are they? List the names.
  3. Name and full address of the person responsible for each group?
  4. How are the groups organised and how do they interact with one another?
  5. How are they accompanied and formed?
  6. Have you any propositions for the international meeting being planned for the year 2000?
  7. Name and address of the SCJ religious in your Province who is working with these groups?
Any suggestions should be sent to the person appointed by the General government for the coordination and animation of the Dehonian Family at the international level.

I would be grateful for your reply, either by fax, e-mail wardjito@scj.org, or letter. I will be in Rome for the next two months. May the Lord bless you with his assistance, according to his will.

 

Cordially in the Heart of Jesus,
Fr. Hadrianus Wardjito scj
