Spirituality - Montfortian Associates

General Administration > Commissions

The Commission for Spirituality and Montfort Associates was created in October 2023 to accompany the Company of Mary and the Association of “Mary Queen of All Hearts” in their common journey of deepening the spirituality of St. Louis Marie de Montfort and missionary works. Therefore, in fidelity to our constitutions, and response to the Acts of the 38th General Chapter, the members of the Spirituality Commission and Montfortian Associates keep in mind: “As Montfort Missionaries we have to be aware that our charism is a gift of the Holy Spirit and a commitment to respond in the constant need for a renewal in the Church and in the society” (GC23_Acts, 12). And also, “It is also a call to offer the way of consecration to Jesus incarnate Wisdom through Mary as the chosen mean to live the baptismal promises” (GC23_Acts, 7).

To carry out its task, the Commission comprises confreres competent in spirituality from diverse cultural and ecclesial backgrounds. Together with Fr. Jesús CUCHO PUCHURI, chairman, the Commission is composed of the following members: Fr. Jesu DOSS RAYAPPAN (02/06/89) from the General Delegation of Peru-Brazil; Fr. Alexander SWAMY NATHAN (31/01/82) from the Vice-Province of India, Fr. Fidelis BOLO WOTAN (24/04/1981) from the province of Indonesia; Fr. Ephrem KULONDWA MUDERHWA (02/07/82) from the General Delegation of Francophone Africa, Fr. Ernest AKHONYA (09 /03/1979) from the General Delegation of Anglophone Africa; Fr. Delfim AFONSO TEXEIRA (10/11/69) from the General Delegation of Portugal; and Fr. Arnoldus (Arnold) SUHARDI (29/10/72) from the Province of Indonesia.
