Fr. Gregory Gay re-elected Superior General
by John Freund, CM | Jul 8, 2010 | Congregation of the Mission, Vincentian Family | 23 comments
Fr. Gay was re-elected Superior General of the Congregation of the Mission. He will serve a second 6 year term through 2016. Since he was one short of the required majority after the second ballot it required a third quick ballot. You can see and hear him describe his impressions from his visits around the world to 80 countries in the last six years. See his official report to the Assembly of his first six years. Read a short biography posted in the Vincentian Encyclopedia at the time of his original election.

Congratulazioni!Grazie per il suo sì. E grazie ancora per la Celebrazione aucaristica e la colazione di ieri mattina. Congratulations, Greg! May the LOrd, Vincent and the entire Vincentian family in heaven and on earth be with you as you continue your leadership of the Congregation and of the entire Family in the coming six years. Peace, Louie Muchas felicidades padre Gregorio. Que el Señor le bediga y le acompañe en su misión. Cuenta con nuestras oraciones. Esperamos que la Virgen Milagrosa le ilumine y le de la energía necesaria para continuar al lado de los pobres. Congratulations Father Gregory. The Lord bless and accompany with you on your mission. You have our prayers. I hope the Miracolouse Medall with you, enlighten you and give you energy to continue your mission to the side of the Poor. Congratulations, Father Greg! It is a tremendous responsibility leading the many branches of the Vincentian Family. The task (and joy) of the Vincentian Family is living the charism of Vincent in a world filled with complexity and diversity. Poverty, however, was the driving force in Vincent’s life – and ours. Thank you for accepting the leadership of this enormous and energetic family. Your obvious love of, and experience with the Poor, make you our much loved leader. I keep you in prayer. Felicidades Padre Gregorio deseamos que Jesucristo lo bendiga siempre y que el Espiritu Santo lo fortalezca en su vida apostolica y lo acompañe tambien nuestra Madre Santisima saludos desde Xela,Guatemala. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????
