V Provincial Chapter

Dear Friends,

Just a few weeks ago, we concluded the second phase of our XVII General Chapter. Now, I want to inform you of the celebration of our V Provincial Chapter, which will take place in Long Beach, CA, from July 19th to the 30th.
The history of our Province is a history of covenant. The Lord, who made this commitment with us, is faithful, and his call and his grace are irrevocable (cf. Rm. 11:29). Even during significant difficulties, the hand of God was and continues to be upon us.
At the Provincial Chapter, we will ask ourselves, “What does God want to do with us today? Where does the Spirit, the true Protagonist of our mission, want to lead us? How should we continue our journey, trusting in the promise of fidelity, grace, and fruitfulness that Venerable Fr. Felix Rougier received from Blessed Concepcion Cabrera and that today still nourishes our dream to accomplish something new?
We will also elect the new leadership team for our Province. These brothers will guide our Province and lead by word and example.
Could I ask you to join us in praying to the Holy Spirit, the Protagonist of our mission, for the success of these two critical events in the life of our Congregation and our Province?
On a personal note, and as I come to the end of my term as Provincial Superior, I want to thank you for your pastoral care and support for our brothers serving in the United States. It has been a privilege to be coworkers in the vineyard of the Lord with all of you. Thank you, Fr. Mario Rodríguez and Fr. Joel Quezada for your ministry as my counselors during these years!

With deep affection and gratitude,


Fr. Roberto Saldivar, MSpS
Provincial Superior
