After his appointment and recent installation he was called as every new provincial to the General House.

The new Road Map for the ITM Vice-province has 14 strategical issues for the Provincial and his Council, that help to focus in the animation and government of the provincial community during next 6 years. This tool also serves as a point for the whole general council for accompanying the provincial in near future and guarantee more effective communion with the Rector major and the whole Congregation.
