At the last meeting of the National Council of Development and Peace, the organization’s highest governing body, Ray Temmerman was elected as the new President for the organization.
He was elected after the two-year mandate of past president Pat Kennedy from Newfoundland came to an end.
At the invitation of Cardinal Robert Sarah, President of the Pontifical Council Cor Unum, I attended the XXIX Plenary Assembly of Cor Unum in Rome, January 17-19, 2013. This was one of my first official duties as the new President, and proved to be very timely for me in terms of being very formative and spiritually nourishing. I was supported at the assembly by the guidance and expertise of Mr. Gilio Brunelli, Director, International Programs department. Copies of the agenda and many of the presentations made during the assembly are available.
