  11. STRATEGIC POSITIONS • Unification of Provinces • Eastern & Western USA (2011) • USA & Canada (2014) • United Nations ministry • PROCLADE

  12. CLARETIANS AT THE UNITED NATIONS IN NEW YORK • The ministry at the United Nations was established by the General Government at the request of the General Chapter. Concern for human rights in Latin America, Africa, and Asia initiated the move. Human rights, then, is the first priority issue of the CMF@UN team. • Our application for Consultative Status with ECOSOC (Economic and Social Council) of the NGO branch of DESA was successfully submitted on 30 MAY14 along with all of the supporting documentation. • Proclade’srecognitionat the UN will be considered in 2015 • Brian Culley CMF is living in White Plains, NY and will work with this UN project.

Structure for Prefecture of the Apostolate • Regional Meeting & Annual Meeting – Members: Pastors, Lay Representatives, CMF’s who have participated in Leadership Training, Committee Chairs. • Chicago, Los Angeles (Current Regions) • Development of a National Youth Task Force • Chicago, Los Angeles, Atlanta. • - COMMITTEES: Biblical Pastoral, JPIC, Immigration.

  14. CHALLENGES • Integration of USA & Canada CMFs • 50% Foreign Born CMFs • Secularization of USA/CANADA • Immigration Policy and Ministry

  15. Integration of USA & Canada CMFs It will take some time to unify the future plans for ministries in the USA and Canada. For example, Canada’s rich history in French speaking Quebec is an important consideration as we make coordinated plans for evangelization for both countries

  16. 50% Foreign Born CMFs About half of the Province was born outside of the USA or Canada. We will have to address various inculturation issues if these brothers are to serve effectively in our ministries

  17. Secularization of USA/CANADA Materialism and consumerism as well as other secular values challenges the way we do our mission in these developed countries. The American born sons and daughters of immigrants can easily become secularized into these cultures and the practice of the faith is very different from that of their parents. We need to continue to reflect on what is most timely, urgent and effective in our ministries

  18. Immigration Policy and Ministry Immigration laws in the USA are inadequate and need to be changed. There has been much political debate as to what to do; the legislative bodies are at a stand still. Most of our ministries are with immigrants; we will continue to accompany and advocate for the good of our immigrant families.

  19. ACTIVE APOSTOLATE SITES • 11 USA Parish Sites – Evangelization, Sacramental ministry, Schools (3). • Campus Ministry – 3 Sites (UMS , San Antonio & Yale) • Publications (US Catholic, WEB, Hispanic) • Canada: Camp Claret, 5 Parishes, School
