2021 Antilles Canon Law Society Executive
At the AGM of the Antilles Canon Law Society on Wednesday June 30, 2021 a new executive was elected. The new officers are:
President: Msgr Michael Palud, C.O. (Provost of the Congregation of the Oratory, Port Antonio and Judicial Vicar for the Western Antilles Interdiocesan Tribunal – Kingston Jamaica)
Vice-President: Mrs Peta-Gay Lee-Brace (Barbados)
Secretary: Mrs Gillian Van Sluytman (Guyana)
Treasurer: Ms Bernadette Salandy (Trinidad and Tobago)
The following is an excerpt from Msgr Palud’s first correspondence to the members of the Society:
“We have many challenges to meet. I would envision our Canon Law Society as also being a ‘think tank’ of things canonical to better serve the local Church and the Bishops of our region. Articles and canonical issues will need to be written, ideas exchanged for our Society to have an impact.
“A few years ago we had Mitis Judex come out with the challenges it brought. Now we have an almost completely revamped Penal Code which our dear Pope Francis has just published. This will certainly affect the way the Bishops of the world will have to deal with certain issues. Whilst our role as Tribunal Personnel is important, we MUST be at the forefront of things in this new area! It will take time and effort.
“As time goes on, it would be great if all the Bishops of our AEC region had the ‘reflex’ so to speak to turn to our ACLS as the locus to get help and advice.”
The outgoing executive wishes to congratulate the new executive in their appointments and assure them of our continued support.
