Our Governance
Superior General and Council
The highest governing authority is the Congregation of the
Divine Master Missionaries is the General Chapter. This assembly is composed of both
ex-officio and elected delegates from all Provinces and Vicariates. A distinctive feature of
the Divine Master Missionaries is the principle of parity, which requires an equal number of
priest and brother delegates. This same balance is also reflected in the composition of the
General Council.
Meeting ordinarily every six years, the General Chapter is responsible for electing the
Superior General, the Vicar General, and the Second General Assistant. After their election,
the Superior General—together with these two Assistants appoints at least two and up to four
additional General Assistants, who together form the full General Council.
The Superior General, supported by the Assistants General, is entrusted with the pastoral,
administrative, and spiritual leadership of the entire Congregation. The most recent General
Chapter took place in 2024.
