Scope and Contents

This newsletter was first distributed in September 1972 by the new General Direction with Fr. Thomas Langenfeld from the United States as the Superior General. The by-line in the first issue states "...with a familial tone, the General Council wants to echo the life it leads by informing the confreres of the visits it makes or receives, or certain interesting points in its deliberations, of documents which come to it , and finally, of some happenings of an international character in which it is involved or which may be of interest to the Congregation." It was published for the next 12 years during Langenfeld's two terms of office, ending in June 1984.
