Dear Salvatorian sisters and brothers,<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>We have reached a point after a long journey, or better said a very interesting journey, full of many ups and downs, with times not knowing how this journey will turn out, times of rejection and being sent back to the start again, and times of frustration and doubts. But there were also times filled with great moments of joy, new encouragement, and fresh enthusiasm – and the finest moment has reached us now at last. Our many prayers and thoughts, full of confidence and trust placed in God’s loving hands, have borne fruit and led us to the goal.<\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n

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!<\/span><\/p>\n

We are aware that this event will start a process of <\/span>acceptance<\/span> within your unit. We <\/span>are also aware <\/span>that some of you would have expected <\/span>some<\/span> different content in the document. Be <\/span>assured<\/span> that our <\/span>greatest<\/span> effort, carried with much patience, ha<\/span>s<\/span> guided us to this result. <\/span>It was a huge learning curve for all involved and required common structures to become an internationally recognized association.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

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 \u201cinside and our rooms\u201d. 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.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yours very truly,<\/span><\/p>\n

The General Committee of the ICDS<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
