2026 GENERAL ASSEMBLY: A FRATERNAL JOURNEY CONCLUDED IN GRACE
With hearts full of gratitude to God, the Society of Divine Vocations, Nigeria Quasi-Province, has successfully concluded the 2026 General Assembly of the Professed Confreres. The gathering took place from Tuesday, April 21st to Friday, April 24th at the Our Lady of Divine Vocations Vocationary, Ahiara Mbaise, Imo State.
Guided by the theme “Building Fraternal Communion in our Synodal Journey,” the confreres came together for more than meetings and discussions. It was a time of real encounter with God and with one another, and a moment to reflect deeply on the mission entrusted to us as Vocationists.
Each day carried its own grace through prayer, reflection, dialogue, and sincere listening. In that shared space, experiences were opened up, ideas were exchanged, and a stronger sense of unity began to take shape. There was a clear desire among all to grow not just in responsibility, but in brotherhood.
What stood out most was the lived experience of fraternity. It was seen in the way we prayed together, listened to one another, and engaged with openness and respect. It became clear that communion does not just happen on its own. It is something we choose to build through patience, humility, and charity.
As sons of Our Lady of Divine Vocations, we were reminded again of her quiet and faithful yes to God. Her example continues to guide us as we return to our different assignments, ready to serve with renewed strength and deeper commitment.
We are grateful to everyone who made this assembly possible through their presence, prayers, and support. The fruits of these days will continue to unfold in our communities and in the work we do.
As we go forward, we carry more than decisions. We carry a renewed conviction that fraternal communion remains at the heart of our vocation and the strength of our shared journey.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph.
