July 22nd<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Geetings from Buenos Aires CLC Canada members,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CLC\/CVX World Assembly 2018 in Buenos Aires has officially begun.\n As delegates, Michelle Mahoney, Catherine Kelly, and Trevor Scott \narrived in safely and eagerly in Buenos Aires\u2026 to join over 250 others \ndelegates from around the world! To accommodate us, all of our official \nplenary sessions take place under a big white enclosed tent. Our first \nday was exciting in the opportunity to meet and get to know many of \nthese members of CLC\/CVX from around the world\u2026 including our French \nCanadian counterparts. But today was especially exciting in receiving \nand hearing read to us a letter of support from Pope Francis to open our\n Assembly\u2026 and hearing it at the very college in Buenos Aires that he \nhimself taught at for so many years – Centro Loyola – before being \ncalled to Rome. If he was to come to visit Centro Loyola right now\u2026 he \nwouldn\u2019t recognize the big white tent on the grounds\u2026 but I sure he \nwould approve:) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this support we were introduced to each of the National \ncommunities in true olympic style, with flags and applauses! Now the \nflags are hung all around us along the walls of the big white tent:) We \nthen entered into the spirit of the grace of our Assembly: \u201cWe desire \ngreater depth and integration in the living out of our CLC charism in \nthe world today,\u201d followed by a beautiful Mass celebrated by the Jesuit \nProvincial of the Argentina\/Uruguay Province. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It continued to be a full day with small group discussions on the \ntopics of: 1) Our personal history with CLC; 2) Portraits of our \nNational communities; 3) And what we hope for in this 10 day Assembly. \nThis was a wonderful way to get to know many more of the different \nmembers from around the world in a deeper way. One of the graces that \nwas received was that the difficulties we face as a National community \nare shared by so many other Nationals\u2026 so we are not alone. Something to\n take comfort in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, to end our first Assembly day we were introduced to the \ncandidates of the coming World Executive Council for the next 5 years \nfor us to consider in our voting on the last full day of the Council. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can imagine it was a very tiring day, especially after such \nlong journeys in getting here for all of us\u2026 but also very exhilarating \ntoo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way\u2026 you may be wondering how the weather is way down here in \nBuenos Aires\u2026 it is winter\u2026 it is cool! Even down to zero at night. \nCatherine even brought her winter coat\u2026 and today she wore it:) Many are\n bearing hats and scarves\u2026 scarves that we were given in our care bag \nwith the CLC\/CVX Assembly logo!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please keep us in your prayers as Michelle, Catherine and Trevor \ncontinue on their Assembly journeys and enter more deeply into the \ngraces of this special gathering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CLC\/CVX World Assembly Blessings to each of you,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trevor Scott, sj<\/p>\n\n\n\n
