K'Long, Vietnam, 14 February 2024 -- The Rector Major, Cardinal Angel Artime Fernandes, welcomed participants and invited them to spend these days of the Team Visit with an open heart and mind and in communion with each other. The Rector Major spoke of credible leadership, a vision that looks to the future, Salesian consecrated Identity, and the ability to face the challenges of the mission. He reminded the leaders of the emptiness in the life of the confreres, the need to look at inconsistencies, appreciate the Salesian Brother vocation, and share the mission with the laity, who are not merely employers but as equals. “You have the duty to care for the Salesian charism. Guided by the Spirit may each one be filled with passion to care for the young and the poor”, were the encouraging words of the Rector Major.
