Domenica said that there was supposed to be
formation/recollection every 3rd Sunday of the month but it was
difficult to gather because conflict of schedules.

be conducted by community and in care of the Apostolic Head.

lessons the missionaries are teaching.

apostolic heads for progress reports and evaluation of activities.
