Meet the Vicar

Today, the assembly of capitulars has elected the new vicar general of the Order in the person of Fr. Jesus Maria Ruiz Irigoyen from the Spanish province. He was born in 1943 at Navarra, Spain and was ordained priest in 1972 in Argentina. Fr. Jesus is a formator, chaplain, coordinator of the socio-pastoral health activities and administrator. He is also much involved in the field of communication and has founded the magazine "Humanizar." He wrote a book recently entitled "Umorizzare la salute."

The election of Consultors will take place soon. Normally, the election will proceed one at a time and not simultaneously. Most probably by Friday the new Consulta will be finally convoked and they will proceed right away to the opening of ballots and appointment of Provincials.
