Then, Fr Shajan Pazhayil welcomed officially Fr Bruno and Fr Brizzio to the Quasi Province. Immediately after that, Fr Bruno addressed the council and wished his warm greetings to everyone and invited all of us to share the report prepared. He wanted to be with the council and hear form us and thus he cut short the visiting of each community except formation houses to meet the formees as the duty of the General to hear them and motivate them. The meeting continued till 7.00 pm and adjourned for the day. Fr General will have the visit until 23rd of February and then he will go back to Italy. While he is in India he will visit the formation houses, the formees and the formators. Other communities and missionary stations will be visited if he gets another occasion.
