On behalf of the Salesians and Salesian Family, we are delighted to welcome Fr Tadeusz Rozmus SDB, the Regional Councillor for Central-North Europe to the British (GBR) Province for the Extraordinary Visitation during the month of November. Fr Tadeusz comes in the name of the Rector Major and will visit each Salesian Community and speak with each Salesian Confrere. In a very tight schedule he will also have the opportunity to see the different Salesian works, meet those who share in our mission, meet members of the Salesian Family, attend the Youth Ministry Weekend and the Opening and Blessing Ceremony for St John Bosco College, Battersea.

Fr Tadeusz visited the GBR Province briefly in May 2014 when he met the confreres on retreat at Hothorpe Hall and in Farnborough and St Joseph's, and he also joined the group of SDBs on the Pilgrimage Retreat to the Holy Land in May 2015. We are delighted that he will be able to spend more time with us and in the Province.

Another important task during the Visitation will be to conduct the Consultation for the new Provincial for the term 2016-2022. We have celebrated a novena of Masses around the Province in these last days for the 'light of the Holy Spirit' and will continue to pray for God's blesing during the coming month.

May God bless Fr Tadeusz in his work with us.
