The General Curia announces to the Order that on 1 September, the Central European Province was established under the patronage of St John of God. During the last General Definitory, held last July, the Superior General and his Council officially erected the new Province, born from the unification of the Austrian and Bavarian Provinces. The Curia will be based in Vienna and the Provincial and Definitory of the new Province will be Brother Saji Mullankuzhy, General Councillor and Superior of the former Austrian Province, and the current councillors of Austria: Brother Daniel Katzenschläger, Brother Antonius Nguyen Van Loi, Brother Nikolaus Deckan and Brother Thomas Pham. This government will remain in place until the Provincial Chapter, scheduled for January 2026. We trust that this new Province will bear fruit in unity, collaboration and renewed apostolic zeal for the good of the Order.

Good luck and keep up the good work!
