New transnational religious provinces – Union major superiors switzerland vos'usm
“This decision is the result of a process of several years. Moreover, motivated by various reasons,” said Father Pallottin Andy Givel, union major superiors switzerland vos’usm President of Vos’USM. Communities in Switzerland are annoyed and the next generation is lacking. This has led many communities to create provinces and transnational units whose head office is often no longer in Switzerland.
For this reason, it becomes more and more difficult for those responsible to participate in the Vos’USM assemblies. “If an assembly of major superiors were no longer made up of only representatives of the abbots. provincials and superiors, the designation would no longer be correct. This is why new structures are necessary, ”explains Andy Givel.

Constitutive assembly on September 15
The constitutive assembly of the future association will take place on September 15. “The Dispute Decision of Vos’USM was taken provided that the new association is actually created,” explains Andy Givel.
