Given the need \u201cto be more deliberate and focused on the priority themes and key messages that are at the heart of our Lasallian publications\u201d, <\/span>Br. Armin Luistro, Superior General of the Brothers of the Christian Schools, has established the Institute’s International Publications Committee<\/b>, which will work close with the Office of Lasallian Heritage and Research, and the Office of Information and Communication.<\/span><\/p>\n

The main functions of this Committee are, first of all, to “<\/span>determine the editorial lines and collections to be carried out <\/b>during the next five years”, for example: <\/span>Cahiers Lasalliens, <\/span><\/i>Lasallian Studies, MEL Bulletins, Bulletin of the Institute, Lasallian Reflections.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Secondly, the Committee will assess “the current and emerging needs of the global Lasallian Family in the area of publications” in order to “<\/span>provide regular feedback to the Institute Councils and Offices for continuous improvement of available resources<\/b>“.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, the Institute\u2019s International Publications Committee will “<\/span>recommend to the Superior General and Institute Councils the thrusts and overall priorities, directions and medium of dissemination for Lasallian publications<\/b>“.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To carry out this mission, the Brother Superior General has appointed the seven members of the Committee for a term of three years: <\/span>Br. Santiago Rodr\u00edguez Mancini FSC<\/b>, Director of the Office of Lasallian Heritage and Research; <\/span>Br. Jacques D’Huiteau FSC<\/b>, from the Lasallian Region of Europe-Mediterranean – RELEM; <\/span>Br. Pierre Ouattara FSC<\/b>, from the Lasallian Region of Africa-Madagascar – RELAF; <\/span>Br. Rey Mejias FSC<\/b>, from the Regional Conference of Asia Pacific – PARC; <\/span>Br. Ernest Miller FSC<\/b>, from the Lasallian Region of North America – RELAN; <\/span>Br. Junior Schnorrenberger FSC, <\/b>from the Lasallian Region of Latin America \u2013 RELAL; and <\/span>Mr. \u00d3scar Elzalde, <\/b>Director of the Office of Information and Communication.<\/span><\/p>\n

In thanking the generous availability of the members of the Committee, praying for guidance in fulfilling their responsibilities, Br Armin Luistro underlines that “<\/span>each Lasallian resource is a privileged instrument to communicate the mandate of the 46<\/b>th<\/b> General Chapter and III AIMEL<\/b> so we can journey together in creative fidelity and heroic audacity”. There is also a need <\/span>“to consider the contributions we could make to the ongoing reflections in the Church and the world”<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n
