All the Oblates of the Missionary Oblates of the Central Province of SA - gathered at Assisi for the Provincial Assembly. We expected sub-zero temperatures but it was quite comfortably cool.
There was a lot of preparation done by a capable pre-Assembly preparation team. This made all the difference. The Assembly tried to discern a community direction on a number of recurring themes - this was successfully achieved.
Some of the key issues were:
- Listening to what others & other significant groups were feeding back to the Oblates - namely: what we did well and some challenges to us us as a community.
- We confronted our financial situation - and looked at ways to become more sustainable
- Reports from the Districts
- Examined the Vows from an African contextual perspective.
- Leadership & Governance - Mission and Evangelization
- Announcement of 4 Scholastics to complete their Theology in the Congo in a French African environment.
- Reports from - Youth Ministry & Justice and Peace Ministry
