Authority and Responsibilities of Governance in Lay Aggregations

All the moderators and leaders of the movements of international associations before the Pope in the Vatican

On September 16, 2021, the Dicastery for Laity, Family, and Life summoned the moderators, presidents, and international leaders of all ecclesial movements, new communities, and associations recognized or erected by the Holy See to reflect on the theme “The responsibility of governance in lay aggregations. An ecclesial service”. The core issue of the day was that of closely examining the themes included in the General Decree "The International Associations of the Faithful", with the aim of reflecting together on the exercise of authority in lay aggregations. The Symposium, partially followed via videoconference because of the pandemic, took place in the New Synod Hall, with the participation of about 300 people.
