Rome, Italy. Today, June 7, 2024, just one month before the beginning of the Claretian Spirituality Congress, we are providing you with guidelines for your online participation in the congregational events that will take place in Vic. The Spirituality Congress will be held from July 7 to 15, followed by the Vigil and the Eucharist on July 16 to commemorate the 175 years of the foundation of the Claretian Congregation.
We hope that the Congress of Spirituality will not only be an experience for the 77 people who will be in Vic but that it can also be lived and experienced by the entire Congregation and the Claretian Family, just as with the Closing Celebrations of our Jubilee Year. It is an intense experience of the Spirit for all of us; therefore, we invite you to be actively involved through prayer and online participation. We encourage you to organize and view the live broadcast or videos in the community or personally. We especially ask you to take this opportunity in our formation centers. The Communication Team of the General Government has prepared a plan for live broadcasts and recordings to be posted on the official social media platforms so you can access them anytime. In the following, we will outline this plan, providing a clear and thorough explanation.

The main events will be broadcast daily in Spanish, English, and French.
- During the Spirituality Congress: the daily prayer and Eucharist, morning conferences, plenary sessions, various moments of meditation during the first two days of retreat, addresses of Father General and Cardinal Aquilino Bocos, and two special evening events: oration concert and contemplative dance.
