We can and we will let our light shine. (Mt.5:16). We will focus on the following during the next six years.   Revitalize community life for a community based apostolate and a collective witness of our life as Fransalians.   Restructure administration of the congregation at all levels for efficient and effective governance and collective witness of our life as Fransalians.   Guided by the Gospel Values take a stand and move with prophetic courage and work toward the transformation of the world that is struggling with injustice, violence, war, poverty, hunger, disease, etc. With renewed vigour and enthusiasm, respond to the cry of the poor and the marginalized.   Make our formation Salesian in spirit, mission-oriented and people centred to grow as a community in mission.                                Statement    Call of the General Chapter   Action Plan    Memorare
