Fr. Paul Dass, JCEAO Coordinator of the Social Apostolate Secretariat, and lay partner Margaret Martinez, attended the Meeting of Assistancy Coordinators held in Rome May 15 – 21, 2006. Two main items on the agenda were: Reflections with the Commission on Social Justice – to review Decree 3 of GC 34 and prepare specific recommendations for GC 35, and Reflections and sharing on Jesuit – Lay Partnership. For the latter, Fr. Paul Dass sent out questionnaires to Jesuits and their lay partners in the Social Apostolate. The response was prompt and most useful in preparing a collective sharing from both the Jesuit and lay perspective which Fr. Paul and Margaret shared with the group on Thursday, May 18.
