The International Commission for the LCF met at the Maddalena, the General House for the Order of St Camillus for their annual meeting from 24-28 June 2019.

During this time we reviewed the interim International Assembly of LCF’s held in Rome last October (2018). This was a very joyful and successful gathering, allowing more than 60 representatives from Lay Camillian Families from 23 countries to participate and share their collective experiences.

We received and accepted an invitation from Latin American Lay Camillian Families to join them for the VI Latin American Meeting which will take place in Lima from 24-27 October 2019. The theme for their meeting “ The Pearl of Charity in our hands today” is a theme that the Central Commission and all lay Camillian Families can reflect on in the coming months.

We have started to prepare for our International General Assembly that will take place in May 2021, when our general elections will also take place. We are working on a theme for this 2021 General Assembly and will let you know when it is confirmed.  Please remember this in your prayers.

We would like to renew our thanks to all our Lay Camillian Families for their commitment to follow in the footsteps of our great founder St Camillus, and to all the religious Camillians for their leadership, inspiration, generosity and good example.

May the Good Lord continue to bless our Camillian Family to be ever more faithful in our service to the sick and all who are in need of our care.
