On February 20, 2016 we initiated the Formation Plan for the Vincentian Family in Ecuador (FAVIE).  We began by meeting with the Advisers of the various Branches, then met with the members in various constituted zones and/or regions.  At the present time, the members of the National Council of the Vincentian Family are visiting the various regions in order to present the Formation Plan and begin the process.  Thanks to God this plan has been well-received and all the Branches are satisfied with it and have become engaged in the process.  In the coming months the members of the National Council will visit the remainder of the zones.

Very soon we will be able to share with you more news about the Regional Encounters and the National Encounter of the Vincentian Family in Ecuador.

A warm embrace to all of you and may God continue to bless you!  We hope to be able to continue to communicate and share with you our experiences as members of the Vincentian Family.  At this time we will communicate by way of the International Office of the Vincentian Family located in Philadelphia (USA).
