In February 2023 , the Movement Board , announced the first-ever General Assembly and Global Encounter in Assisi, planned for 2025.
In 2024, after thorough deliberation with the Global Membership Council and the Secretariat, our Board has decided to emphasize the significance of local and national encounters. As a result, we are transitioning the in-person global Encounter in Assisi to an online format, enabling broader participation worldwide.Â
This year holds significance for the future of LSM, so we’d like to encourage you to actively participate in the upcoming Encounters and contribute to the success of these events.
Local Encounters: February to June, connecting LSM members in close geographic areas
Fraternal Encounters: From April to June, with LSM members who are in a specific country
National Encounters: August to December, uniting LSM members nationally
