Our meeting started with Provincial Coordinator Park Andrew’s opening greetings. And all attendants were introduced by centers including the remotest Jeju island 2 centers through on-line. Park Pascal, Provincial Secretary, told about latest Korea ASC activities for the past year and specially about Donation for Myanmar. The donation was raised during latest Lenten Retreat, amounting to more than 13million won. All Cooperators are praying for Myanmar. And Park Cecilia in charge of Provincial Finance reported last and this year's financial Report.
Before our meeting, there was a wide survey on the difficulties Cooperators faced most in this Pandemic time. As you might have guessed, the biggest problem was that we could not meet face to face, becoming obstacles to formation and bringing up Aspirants, and some aged Cooperators have difficulties in dealing with technical problems of on-line contact. And other Cooperators told about pros and cons in using the Home Page. But what is encouraging is that Cooperators are getting to use online contact more easily and among this Pandemic difficulties, 6 of our 28 centers still continue to do their Apostolic activities like home schooling, planting trees, etc., as they are observing social distancing.
Provincial Delegate Park John Bosco SDB, specially expressed his heartful thanks to all Cooperators for having made many efforts to prepare this meeting and stressed the importance of hope and communion with others. And Delegate Kim Geltruda FMA talked about ecological spirituality and activities and requested all Cooperators to pay much more attention to them.
