Fr. Paul Dass in Roman Meeting

Fr. Paul Dass, JCEAO Coordinator of the Social Apostolate Secretariat, and lay partner Margaret Martinez, attended the Meeting of Assistancy Coordinators held in Rome May 15 - 21, 2006. Two main items on the agenda were: Reflections with the Commission on Social Justice - to review Decree 3 of GC 34 and prepare specific recommendations for GC 35, and Reflections and sharing on Jesuit - Lay Partnership. For the latter, Fr. Paul Dass sent out questionnaires to Jesuits and their lay partners in the Social Apostolate. The response was prompt and most useful in preparing a collective sharing from both the Jesuit and lay perspective which Fr. Paul and Margaret shared with the group on Thursday, May 18.
