Possible Provincial Activities to fulfill Provincial Plan

• Appoint someone to inventory the activities of formation in the Vincentian Charism in our apostolates and distribute them to all confreres. It should emphasize “good practices” that are applicable/useable in all apostolates.
• Have each group of our ministries give a presentation at a day workshop on how they form others, especially youth, in the Vincentian Charism.

a. Have an individual at this workshop note activities that are formational

b. Distribute to each house/confrere these notes.

• Form a committee to put together a program on Immigration to be presented at an annual provincial gathering. This program should address the issues of immigration in a deeper manner.
• Form a committee to put together a program on 21-35 year old people. It should include demographics, what they like and how to attract them. Research Specialists and “youth” theologians should be a part of this.
