Rome, July 27, 2007
To the SFO/Youfra National Councils
To the SFO/Youfra International Councillors
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
The Lord give you peace!
In its meeting on October 21-28, 2006, the CIOFS Presidency
carefully considered the responsibilities and the representation of the
International Councillors of the Franciscan Youth in the International Council
and in the General Chapter of the Secular Franciscan Order, and has decided that
the number of delegates will be 6 (FIOFS Statutes, Art. 6), representing the
following areas:
Central America and Mexico
South America
Asia and Oceania
Central and East Europe
West Europe and North America
Italy and Africa
In view of the forthcoming General Chapter to be held on November 15-22, 2008, the international delegates for the Franciscan Youth must elect, from the members of the Franciscan Youth within their respective areas, the Franciscan Youth International Councillor, and his/her substitute, in coordination with Xavi Ramos, CIOFS Presidency Councillor for the Franciscan Youth. The Presidency must receive the names of these representatives not later than March 2008.
Attached we are sending you the determination of the Presidency on the election of the Delegates and the International Councillors of the Franciscan Youth, which we kindly ask you to comply with fully.
Thanking you for your availability and your service to the young Franciscans, we wish you peace and good in Christ.

Encarnación del Pozo
SFO General Minister
