From October 24th-28th, the Provincial Assembly of the Austro-German Province was held in the major Seminary at Vallendar. The Rector and the delegates of the local communities took part along with the Regional Rector of Cameroon, the Provincial Delegates of Spain, Croatia and South Africa. In his annual report the Provincial Fr Hans-Peter Becker pointed out the main challenges for the forthcoming years and what responses one may need to give to the changes in the Province itself, in the Church or in German society. Moreover, the Provincial Council presented a concept for the apostolate of the Province as a starting point for a reflection and a more thorough discussion in the local communities. (Synodal process) M Manus represented the General Council. As always during the assembly there moments of fraternity and a trip to the island of Niederweth on the River Rhine, near Vallendar.
