The Executive Board of the UISG (International Union of Superiors General) has created an extended process to enable Superiors General to participate as fully as possible in the UISG Assembly 2022 with the theme: Embracing vulnerability on the synodal journey. The UISG Plenary Assembly is one of the most important events in the Union’s life and is reserved exclusively for its members, the Superiors General of Religious Congregations.

This course given by Dr. Heather Eaton examines several intersections between ecological issues, justice, and efforts for effective eco-social change.  Various examples will be studied to understand the issues involved in, for example, climate change and social impacts, and to assess the responses (conflicts, nonviolent resistance, peaceful resolutions).

This updated program offers instruction in the contemporary context on the main aspects of canon law and certain aspects of civil law affecting consecrated life. It is intended for present and future leadership teams and lay persons working in the administration of institutes of consecrated life or societies of apostolic life. It is the first year of the three-year cycle.
