For the past few days, I have been taking part in the PANAM Zone Assembly of the Society of the Divine Word (SVD). Fifty SVD representatives from provinces and regions across the Americas have gathered here in Quito to pray together, to share the joys and challenges of our missionary work, and to discern how we can continue serving the Church more faithfully as Divine Word Missionaries.

I would like to let you know that I will be traveling to Ecuador from Monday, September 21 through September 29 to attend the PANAM Zone Assembly as a U.S delegate representing my religious congregation, the Society of the Divine Word (SVD).
