The role of the Brother Superior General

• His presence in Visitors Conferences
  The Brother Superior General interacts more directly with the Brother Visitors to provide support and animation. This includes meeting them at least once a year in the Regional Visitors Conference.
• His Pastoral Visits to the Districts
  For his Pastoral visits, the Brother Superior General, in dialogue with the leadership team of the District, will identify and address key areas for attention. These visits should always be occasions for encouraging Brothers and other Lasallians and, when needed, to exercise authority and intercede on behalf of the Institute.

The role of the Brother Vicar General
Besides substituting for the Brother Superior General when needed, and being his first collaborator, the Brother Vicar General is entrusted with the coordination of the Secretariats and Services of the Generalate. He also organizes and moderates the plenary sessions of the General Council.

The Role of the General Council
The community life of the Council primarily occurs when the Brother General Councilors convene in Rome for their regular plenary sessions. These sessions focus on the needs and concerns of the Institute while facilitating faith sharing and the continuing formation of the General Council.

We are excited and happy to share with you the most significant changes that we wish to undertake.
