Community Life
Viatorian community life is lived at four
levels:
Local |
Regional |
Provincial |
International
Local Level
   
Although a number of professed members live on their
own in apartments or rectories due to ministry or
circumstance, many members live in small local
communities ranging in size from two to eighteen members
in eleven residences. Each local community is
responsible for determining its community life relative
to community prayer, meals, and lifestyle. Few local
communities have “superiors”. Rather, the majority of
local communities opt for a shared responsibility model
that determines common life together. Members living on
their own often stay connected with a local community.
Regional Level
    
Each of the five regions (Arlington Heights/Chicago,
Belize, Bourbonnais/Kankakee, Colombia, Henderson/Las
Vegas) provides opportunities for associates and
professed to gather on a monthly basis for prayer, meal,
discussion, and/or socialization.
Additionally, the regional communities gather to
celebrate the Feast of St. Viator on or near October 21
each year.
Provincial Level
   
The entire community is invited to gather twice a
year, once in June for retreat and once in July for
assembly.
International Level
   
Elected delegates of professed members from each of the
five provinces (Canada, Chicago, Chile, France, Spain)
gather every six years for a General Chapter and General Assembly. Elected delegates of associate members from each of the five provinces gather every six years with professed members at the General Assembly. |
