Rome (Agenzia Fides) - At the end of a year of formation and study during the Summer 13 deacons of the Xaverian Missionaries will receive priestly ordination. The young men are from various different countries and completed their theological studies in the Xaverian Missionaries' five international communities in Cameroon, Mexico, United States, Italy and the Philippines.

Today there are 848 Xaverians in 146 communities (Annuario Pontificio 2007). They recently held their 15th general chapter on the theme of Xaverian Spirituality (see Fides 13/3/2007 and 12/7/2007) which re-confirmed Fr Rino Benzoni Superior general for another mandate. (S.L.)
