Dear Brothers,

With the present Letter of Convocation, in accordance with articles 213 and 213.1 of the Constitutions and Directory, I am communicating to you the following:

  1. The 9th General Chapter of the Society of St Paul will begin on Sunday 25 April 2010, and will take place in the Divine Master House in Ariccia (Rome). The conclusion of the Chapter is foreseen to be on 15 May 2010.
  2. Members of the Chapter are those as set out in articles 215, 215.1, 215.2, 215.3 and 215.4 (Enclosure n° 1).
  3. For the election of Delegates to the Provincial Chapters, the General Chapter and of their respective substitutes, the procedure will be to follow articles 195.3, 196, 196.1 and 196.5, in the new text modified by the General Chapters (Enclosure n° 2). – For the Regions art. 182.3 is to be followed.
  4. It is for the competent Superior to convene the Provincial (or corresponding) Chapter in due course for the election of the aforesaid Delegates. Their names must reach the General Government before, but not later than, 5 March 2010.
  5. As regards the elections in the Houses directly dependent on the General Government, the norm set out in art. 215.3 is to be followed. – Thus the Communities of the General House (Rome), Canonico Chiesa House (Rome), Divine Master House (Ariccia), Don Alberione House (Albano Laziale) and the Com¬munity of the Vatican, together with those persons directly dependent on the Superior General, will form a single group, which will send 2 Delegates to the Chapter.
  6. The Chapter’s official language will be Italian, but Capitulars may intervene in their native tongue. A simultaneous translation will be available in Italian, English and Spanish.

While I invite all members to pray personally and as a community for the Chapter’s happy outcome, I would suggest the following prayer text (Enclosure n° 3). We ask God to send the Spirit of His Son that reflecting and planning on the theme “Rekindle the gift that you have received” (2Tim 1:6), we may remain faithful to our Blessed Founder and be courageously open to the future of the Pauline Charism in the spirit of St. Paul.

My greetings to all of you.

Fr. Silvio Sassi
Superior General

NB. The competent Superiors are to see to it that the text of the present Letter be displayed in every community of their Circumscription.
