| Summary: | Many religious institutes in Canada and elsewhere are facing the prospect of either joining with other institutes or of dying out. It would be important not to let events take over. Rather, members should be proactive in helping to determine their future. The various steps to be taken when a union or a fusion (merger) is considered are spelled out here. Also, the possibility of covenant relationships with another institute are considered. Likewise, the recent establishment by the Holy See of Canadian Religious Stewardship as a pontifical public juridic person also provides for institutes that need assistance in these difficult times. Plusieurs instituts religieux au Canada et ailleurs se voient maintenant confrontés à la perspective de devoir choisir entre se joindre à d'autres instituts ou mourir à petit feu. À cet égard, il est important de ne pas se laisser dépasser par les événements. Au lieu de cela, les membres devraient se montrer proactifs en contribuant à définir leur propre avenir. On décrit ici les diverses étapes à suivre lorsque l'on songe à la possibilité d'une union ou d'une fusion. On considère également la possibilité de l'établissement de relations d'alliance entre instituts. De même, l'article aborde la mise sur pied récente par le Saint-Siège de la Canadian Religious Stewardship, un organisme au service d'instituts qui ont besoin d'aide en ces temps difficiles. |
