From Sunday, 26 October, to Wednesday, 29 March, the Prior Provincial, Fr Leslie Gatt O.S.A., participated in the meeting of the Major Superiors of the English-speaking circumscriptions of the Order of Saint Augustine, held in the United States. Major Superiors from Australia, England, India, Ireland, Japan, Korea, Malta, Nigeria, the Philippines and the United States gathered in Ojai, California, at the Augustinian Parish and Villanova Preparatory School. The meeting was also attended by the Prior General, Fr Joseph L. Farrell O.S.A., together with three members of the General Council.
During these days, the participants had the opportunity to pray, discern and reflect together on what the Holy Spirit is calling the Order to consider and undertake, particularly in the areas of vocations and formation, shared ministries and new initiatives, especially in the context of our vicinity with Pope Leo XIV. Such gatherings also provide a valuable opportunity to share the particular strengths and challenges of each circumscription, while exploring possibilities for greater collaboration among the various circumscriptions of the Order in different parts of the world.
