Acta Apostolicae Sedis - Commentarium Officiale928

The Congregations for Bishops, for Institutes of Consecrated Life and for

Catholic Education concur with the Secretariat of State that the first phase

of the Visitation - the inquiry concerning the four Metropolitan Archdioce-

ses, Religious Houses and Seminaries - should be completed if possible by

next Easter 2011. At that time the Visitators should submit the results of

their enquiries so that they can be studied during the month of May and a

plan for moving forward can be discussed. Then the Holy See will announce,

with a proper Statement, the next steps that have to be taken.

When the Visitation is complete, the Holy See, after reviewing all

the material submitted by the Visitators and offering suggestions for the

spiritual renewal of the Archdioceses, Seminaries and Religious Houses,

will issue a comprehensive summary of the results of the Visitation.

From the Vatican, 12th November 2010.
