As a Lay Salvatorian has anyone ever asked you, “What is a Lay Salvatorian?” “What does a Lay Salvatorian do?” “I don’t understand why anyone would do this.” “What is a Lay Salvatorian‘s mission?” Many people have asked us those questions and we are quite sure they have been asked of you as well.

Members of the General Committee of the International Committee of the Divine Savior (ICDS –Lay Salvatorians) in common with one member of the financial commission and accompanied by Fr. Thomas Malal SDS from the Generalate of the Salvatorians met on Dec. 11th, 2015 with Dr. Philip G. Milligan a legal member of the relevant department of the Pontifical Council of the Laity in Rome.
They had a very fruitful dialogue about the progress of the recognition of the ICDS at the Vatican. The conversation was about the several apostolates and actions of Lay Salvatorians in the different countries-units.
One of the topics they talked about was their lived reality and common cooperation. The Council is discerning if it is present at an international level.
Dr Milligan stated that it is expected a response from the office of the Pontifical Council possibly at the end of January or the beginning of February 2016.

On the evening of December 7th, 2015 the Salvatorian Missionary Year was closed by several events around the world. It was a humbling experience to be present at the event in the motherhouse of the Society of the Divine Savior in Rome.
An informative exhibition about the life of the founder Fr. Francis Jordan was opened in the corridor of the first floor in the motherhouse. You can view some photographs in our gallery.
A possible miracle in Brazil through the intercession of Fr. Jordan could be a big step forward in the process of beatification of the founder. These message was made public by the Generalate of the Society of the Divine Savior today. Reed more about this interesting news here in several languages →
