 2004 Congress on the Consecrated Life: From November 23rd to the 27th, almost 900 Religious from around the world met in Rome for a Congress with the theme, "Passion for Christ, Passion for Humanity." Trying to shape the future of consecrated life, invited members of the Congress included the members of Leadership Conferences of Religious and a number of other invited Religious.  The Congress was sponsored by the Union of Superiors General for men (USG) and the Union of Superiors General for women (UISG). Because Br. Alvaro Rodriguez, Superior General of the Brothers, is the President of the USG, he gave the closing remarks for the Congress. They are presented here in PDF format.
