Establishment of a Vincentian Center at Adamson University
Exploring possibilities of an Asian Vincentian Forum INTIATIVES
The most important initiative to date of the APVC has been the biennial Formation of Formators Workshop. Vocations are numerous in a majority of the provinces. The formators are doing a good job and increasingly have training in some aspect of formation, but they generally are young and it was thought need the support of the other formators in the region as well as ongoing development.
The first of two principal initiatives before the conference at the present time is the establishment of a Vincentian Center at Adamson University, a center which will serve the needs of the Vincentian mission in Asia Pacific. In the beginning the emphasis will be on Vincentian resources and service to the participating provinces.
The second initiative, which is being investigated in each province in preparation for the Dublin meeting, is an Asian Vincentian Forum. It is hoped to establish an annual meeting on Vincentian topics to which members of the larger Vincentian family may be invited. The goal would be to bring people together to reflect on the Vincentian charism in the Asian context.
