Dear President Acerson:
Realigning Boundaries of the Missions in Italy
The First Presidency has determined that the Italy Catania Mission will be dissolved and the boundaries of the Italy Rome and Italy Milan Missions will be realigned to include the area of the discontinued mission. This will take effect 1 July 2010.
This move will not affect the role of the missionaries. It is a positive move as the Church continues to expand throughout the earth and as ward and stake leaders and members take a more active role in missionary work.
This consolidation, together with many others, will be announced in the Church News on 13 February 2010. It is critical that, before that date, you notify your missionaries of this change and the significance of it. It would not be proper for them to receive this information from the media or e-mails from home.
Details on the boundary changes and the steps which must be taken for the merger will be sent to you shortly. Thank you again for your excellent service, which has to a large degree, made this consolidation possible.
Sincerely,
Europe Area Presidency
