With the words of His Eminence Kevin Joseph Cardinal Farrell at the recognition ceremony at the Dicastery for Laity, Family, and Life, we conclude our series on important and historic speeches of that day. I hope that even if you could not be present in person, you can still feel a little of the moving and joyful feeling of the event.
May the Cardinal’s blessing always continue in our hearts and become a blessing for the whole Salvatorian Family.

The day of our recognition was accompanied by some important and motivating speeches. Since many Lay Salvatorians did not have the opportunity to be present at the ceremonies themselves, and the sound quality of the recordings is not always well understood, we would like to give you the opportunity to glean them here at your leisure.
We start with the speech of the ICDS president Christian Patzl after he received the decree documents from the hands of Cardinal Farrell.

Yesterday, February 8. 2023, on the World Day of Prayer against Trafficking in Persons, the International Community of the Divine Savior received the Decree of Recognition from the Holy See. It was a very special and historic day for the entire Salvatorian Family and we were very happy and filled with joy that the Generalates and representatives of all the branches of the Salvatorian Family were present to celebrate with us. What a great day!

GREETINGS FROM ROME TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE SALVATORIAN FAMILY!

Of course, furthermore, this meeting gave the opportunity for informal meetings to the representatives of the Generalates and some persons from several units.
Dear Salvatorian sisters and brothers,
The Vatican’s Dicastery for Laity, Family, and Life, has approved the draft of our statutes and grants recognition to the Community of the Divine Savior as an International Private Association of the Faithful, dotted with juridical personality in Canon Law.
We bring you this joyful news full of humility and gratitude. Our very special thanks go first to Blessed Francis Mary of the Cross Jordan and Blessed Mary of the Apostles, our spiritual leaders, and visionaries who have interceded for us. And then, of course, to all sisters and brothers, of the General Committee, of the leadership teams in the units, and all the other members of the Salvatorian Family, friends, and families who have supported us with their thoughts, ideas, visions, prayers, and encouragement. Without all your efforts, this moment would not have been possible. A big thank you and a bow to you all!
We are aware that this event will start a process of acceptance within your unit. We are also aware that some of you would have expected some different content in the document. Be assured that our greatest effort, carried with much patience, has guided us to this result. It was a huge learning curve for all involved and required common structures to become an internationally recognized association.
Let’s enjoy and be proud of the “common house” ICDS we now have. Now it’s up to us how cozy and friendly we make the “inside and our rooms”. Let us fill this house, the International Community of the Divine Savior, with life and joy. May the Holy Spirit be always present in it.
Yours very truly,
The General Committee of the ICDS
