From 13 to 15 April 2026, at the General Curia, the second Enlarged Definitory of the year was held, a significant moment in the journey of governance and discernment of the Order.

The meeting was attended by the members of the General Definitory, together with the invited collaborators, in a climate of open dialogue and shared responsibility, focused on reviewing the main ongoing processes and the outlook for the coming months. 

During the sessions, key topics for the life of the Order were addressed, both from a charismatic and pastoral perspective as well as from an organizational and planning standpoint, with particular attention to emerging challenges and priorities shared at the international level. 

Among the collaborators participating in the Enlarged Definitory were:

Br. Ruben Daniel González, Latin America and the Caribbean Province

Ms. Monica Cicconi, participating via Zoom, Latin America and the Caribbean Province

Ms. Inmaculada Roig, Spain Province

Mr. Ansgar Dieckoff, Central Europe Province

Mr. Jürgen Wallner, Central Europe Province

Mr. Paul Bott, West European Province

Ms. Katia Morello, General Curia

The work of the Enlarged Definitory concluded yesterday, while today the sessions of the Canonical Definitory have begun, called to continue its ordinary service of governance, in continuity with what emerged from the enlarged discussion.

This time of shared meeting and discernment represents a further step in the journey of the Order, lived in fidelity to the charism of Saint John of God and in the commitment to respond with evangelical responsibility to the needs of the mission today.
