The IX Consultative Congress of the SAC Major Superiors was held at Vale Veneto, Brazil from 10th to 17th November, 2008.  “The Cenacle: Its Prophetic and Missionary Dimensions in the SAC/UAC in the Present and in the Future” was the theme of the Congress. There were 38 participants, including the general administration. The three Major superiors from India were also part of this Congress. The Congress on the whole deliberated on the questions like: “how can we return to the fire of our charism; how can we bring about more explosion rather than implosion in our life as religious and if the Pallottines would one day disappear from the ecclesiastical map, what would the Church, what would the people, miss?
