The Region's Salesian Cooperators gearing up for Regional Assembly
BANGKOK: 7 July 2011 -- The Thai Provincial Coordinator for the Salesian Cooperators, Mr Francis Wichai, has sent out information regarding the upcoming Regional Assembly of the ASC, to be held in Bangkok in October 2011.
The last such Assembly was held in Macau in 2008, at a time when the new Project of Apostolic Life was being finalised. The October event, the 7th such Regional Assembly, will run under the general theme of "Called to be united; let us renew our identity" and will have as its primary scope the drawing up of a common strategic plan within the region for the mission as members of the Salesian Family.
The Assembly will, as is standard practice now for such events, have two parts, the first (from 11-12 October) involving SDB and FMA Delegates along with Provincial Coordinators for the ASC. The second part, the assembly proper, will take place from 12-15 October. Accommodation and the events themselves will be hosted by selected hotels (a different one for each of the two events, as it happens), and those directly involved will have received the required information regarding times, costs and registration. The common language at the Bangkok Assembly will be English.
November 2012 will see the ASC World Congress in Rome, and already the regional Assemblies have this in mind too. The Project of Apostolic Life, which has been in place 'ad experimentum', will receive the final vote of approval at the world congress. Meanwhile suggestions for amendments to the Statutes and Regulations are arriving and being processed by the World Council.
