The primary purpose of the visit was to work together on integral sustainability, in line with the mandate of the General Chapter.<\/p>\n<p>The main meeting \u2013 held with the participation of the Vice Provincial Congregation \u2013 proved both fruitful and enlightening for all. Integral sustainability is, in many ways,\u00a0<em>where the vision becomes concrete<\/em>: it is the point where our priorities are translated into decisions, habits, structures, and shared responsibility. It is also where we need Calasanzian patience, endurance, and tenacity \u2013 the steady perseverance that keeps a mission faithful and effective over time. This work cannot be done without the full participation and commitment of the local reality; in this case, the Vice Province itself. For that reason, the meeting was especially encouraging: the dedication and readiness of the Vice Provincial Congregation were clear. We are in this together.<\/p>\n<p>After the meeting, Fr J\u00e1nos visited our presence in Jharkhand \u2013 the school, hostel (boarding), and parish in Kamda, as well as the formation house in Torpa. At the same time, Father General, remaining in Bangalore, met personally with all the Juniors, spoke with the formation team (Fr Rayison and Fr Shanto), and held a community meeting.<\/p>\n<p>We thank God for this grace-filled opportunity, and we thank all our brothers in India who made these days of shared discernment, fraternity, and mission possible.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_slider et_pb_slider_fullwidth_off et_pb_gallery_post_type\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_slides\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_slide\" style=\"background: url(https:\/\/scolopi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/05012026-Visita-Economo-Asistente-y-Padre-General-a-India-1.jpg);\"><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_slide\" style=\"background: url(https:\/\/scolopi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/05012026-Visita-Economo-Asistente-y-Padre-General-a-India-2.jpg);\"><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_slide\" style=\"background: url(https:\/\/scolopi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/05012026-Visita-Economo-Asistente-y-Padre-General-a-India-3-scaled.jpg);\"><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_slide\" style=\"background: url(https:\/\/scolopi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/05012026-Visita-Economo-Asistente-y-Padre-General-a-India-4.heic);\"><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_slide\" style=\"background: url(https:\/\/scolopi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/05012026-Visita-Economo-Asistente-y-Padre-General-a-India-5.heic);\"><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_slide\" style=\"background: url(https:\/\/scolopi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/05012026-Visita-Economo-Asistente-y-Padre-General-a-India-6.heic);\"><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_slide\" style=\"background: url(https:\/\/scolopi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/05012026-Visita-Economo-Asistente-y-Padre-General-a-India-7.heic);\"><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_slide\" style=\"background: url(https:\/\/scolopi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/05012026-Visita-Economo-Asistente-y-Padre-General-a-India-8.heic);\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Father General Carles Gil, the Assistant for Asia Fr Joseph Urban, and the General Treasurer Fr J&aacute;nos Valaczka visited the Vice Province of India from 2&ndash;7 January in Bangalore.
