Missionary
project and vocations work
There are around 30 Swiss confreres abroad, working mainly in francophone
Africa, the Caribbean and the Indian Ocean.
In Switzerland itself,
the main centre of missionary activity is the old College of Bouveret,
converted 10 years ago into a house of welcome. The 1966 Chapter confirmed
its recent move towards a more specific centre offering spiritual and
missionary animation in collaboration with competent lay people.

Involvement in Justice
and Peace has been strengthened by the active participation of two confreres
in the new Swiss branch of the AEFJN network and support for the lay
initiative 'Project for Peace'.
Various other undertakings
have led confreres to take part in ecclesial and ecumenical initiatives
aimed at the Third World and mission (material and financial help, sending
young people for short stays etc.). Like France and Belgium, the Province
makes use of the review Pentecôte sur le Monde for missionary
animation.
