b) V Congress of GLM of the Delegation Nostra Signora di Guadalupe
(Chapas, Guatemala, 29th June - 1st July 2007)
It was an interesting lay Congress on the theme: “Rekindle the gift of God.
For a charism shared as disciples and missionaries”.
The comments were very positive and stimulating to our groups. The
fraternity among the different groups of the GLM from Colombia, Guatemala
and Mexico was truly deep. The closeness and simplicity of the Superior
General Father Alfonso, and of the General Counselor Father Carlos Blanchoud
were praiseworthy and helped a lot to create a suitable atmosphere amidst all.
The closeness and the support of all the priests of the Delegation and of the two
priests from Spain were marvelous. The hospitality, the solidarity and the
attention of the population of Chapas, who welcomed us, was spectacular and
truly Guanellian. The enthusiasm of the participants, their attentive and creative
participation brightened the general and group meetings. Theanimation of the
meetings, the Eucharistic celebrations, and the cultural nights were a true
success by their signs of friendship, fraternity and family spirit.
Various and important proposals came from the Congress. The important
ones are:
1.Planning the publication of a GLM Bulletin of the Delegation.
– a trimester periodical.
– The Delegation Council would take care of the publication (for the
first Year 2007-2008, Colombian Delegation Council will edit it).
44
– Every national Council would send to the Editors news regarding their
groups a month before the publication.
2.A website will be created with an email id of the GLM and the
information of all the members and the groups of the Delegation.
3.Every nation would have its own Bulletin.
4.Every year a national meeting of the GLM would be organized and the
coordinators of every nation would be invited.
5.Every three year the Delegation meeting of GLM would be organized.
The next meeting would be in June 2010.
6.Every local GLM Council commits itself to give diverse Guanellian
formation to all the members of the group with a program prepared in
collaboration with the Delegate. It should be in communion with the
formative itineraries proposed by the delegation council in order to
ensure a unitary formation.
7.Every local GLM group, with its Council, supports its youth group and
will collaborate intensely with its formative team. Where the youth
group does not exit, action should be taken to facilitate its creation,
given the fact that they constitute richness and hope for the growth of
the GLM itself. The Delegation Council of the GLM is called to have a
person in charge for the youth ministry.
8.The GLM Delegation commits itself to facilitate the formation and
organization of the association of the Guanellian Cooperators in every
local group.
