New Visitors Complete Orientation
Meeting in Rome

Thirty-four new Visitors from all continents have just completed an Institute-wide orientation meeting at the Generalate in Rome. Participants from the US/Toronto Region include: Baltimore District--Brother Dennis Malloy, Visitor and Brother Kevin Stanton, Auxiliary Visitor; LI-NE District--Brother Vincent Pelletier, Auxilliary Visitor; Midwest District--Brother Larry Schatz, Auxilliary Visitor; NO-SF District--Brother Timothy Coldwell, Visitor and Brother David Sinitiere, Auxilliary Visitor.
The learnings have been both informational and practical: from accompanying Brothers and partners, and conducting community visits to completing Institute forms and understanding budgets; from learning about the new governance structure in the Institute and the new Secretariats and Services, to a presentation of the vow of association; from dealing with crisis to surfing the Institute website; from District and Regional restructuring to sharing personal needs and understanding the many hats a Visitor wears; and from promoting the vocation to the Brothers' life to promoting the Lasallian family and association.
The international experience and reality is what participants value and enjoy most--realizing we are part of something global and making a positive contribution in the lives of young people throughout the world.
