We have received word that Friar Jesús Aguirre-Garza has been named as General Visitator for the province of St. Benedict the African in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Fr. Jesús has previously worked in DRC and so is familiar with the friars and some of the issues they face.
The job of the General Visitator is to visit the friars and friaries of a province as they prepare for the provincial chapter (i.e., general gathering of the friars). Once the visits are completed, the Visitator shares his observations with and makes recommendations to the friars of the province. It is a demanding job, and is an assignment that shows high regard for the capabilities of Fr. Jesús.
