I. P RINCIPLES OF THE C OMMITTEE ’ S W ORK The proposed program is the fruit of the work of the Committee in charge of preparing the Congregation of Marians for the beatification of the Servant of God, Fr. Stanislaus Papczy < ski, convoked by the Superior General’s Decree of October 7, 2005, Prot. No. 207/05. This program received the General Government’s approval during the General Council session on September 1, 2006. The Committee prepares the draft of the preparations program for the impend- ing beatification and post-beatification year; generates standard documents, which shall be adapted for each Province/Vicariate; and coordinates efforts of the provin- cial committees. All materials will be published and freely available on Web at: www.stanislawpapczynski.org Except for the initiatives, approved and recorded in this program, each Province/Vicariate shall make their own decisions regarding the usage of proposed materials. The Superiors of the Congregation’s administrative entities shall convoke appropriate Committees in their entities. Their goal would be to prepare a program of preparations for the beatification and the post-beatification year. They will trans- late documents into their national language; see to the completion of the actions determined by the All-Congregational program and by their own specific program in their Provinces. Financing principle: the General Government shall absorb all costs incurred in Rome of the beatification process and post-beatification year events, as well as costs incurred through the preparation of documents for the entire Congregation. Provinces/Vicariates will pay the expenses related to preparing their own programs and their following implementation within their jurisdiction, and that includes pub- lications in national languages. Individuals who took upon themselves the completion of a project pertaining to the beatification, shall present their proposals for the Committee’s approval. The Committee will present the project’s final version for the General Government’s approval. II. W AYS OF P RESENTING F R .
