Rome, December 15, 2009. The Secretary of State, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, has informed Fr Alvaro Corcuera, general director of the Legion of Christ, that the five apostolic visitators and other members of the Roman Curia met in early December. During that meeting, it was agreed that the visitators would finish their work by mid-March of 2010, in order to present their reports to the Holy Father. Any further steps and their timing depend on the Holy See.

We ask all our readers and friends to continue accompanying the visitors in their mission and all Legionaries of Christ with their prayers.
