Canonisation of Oscar Romero & New Diocesan Shrine On 14th October 2018, St Oscar Romero was canonised in Rome, alongside Pope St Paul VI. Archbishop Peter Smith issued a decree officially designating the "Romero Space" in St George's Cathedral a Diocesan Shrine. Those wishing to mark Romero's Canonisation are welcome to attend a National Mass of Thanksgiving which will take place in St George's Cathedral on Saturday 3rd November at 12.30pm. Archbishop Peter Smith will be the Principal Celebrant. All are welcome to the mass, (individuals, families, parishes, schools) and to visit the shrine. Let us savour the magnificent prayer, commonly attributed to St Oscar Romero, pronounced for the first time by Cardinal John Dearden but composed by Bishop Ken Untener. The Romero Prayer It helps, now and then, to step back and take the long view. The Kingdom is not only beyond our efforts; it is even beyond our vision. We accomplish in our lifetime only a fraction of the magnificent enterprise that is God’s work. Nothing we do is complete, which is another way of saying that the kingdom always lies beyond us. No statement says all that could be said. No prayer fully expresses our faith. No confession brings perfection. No pastoral visit brings wholeness.

    Piano dell’offerta formativa ǀ ISTITUTO CASA FAMIGLIA-MODENA Casa Famiglia e la sua storia L’Istituto delle Suore Adoratrici del SS. Sacramento, a cui appartengono le suore di Casa Famiglia, è una Congregazione fondata nel 1882 a Bergamo dal beato Francesco Spinelli, con Casa Madre e Casa Generalizia a Rivolta d’Adda (Cr). L’Istituto è presente in Italia, Congo, Senegal, Camerun, Colombia e Argentina. Don Francesco Spinelli ha accolto dal Signore l’ispirazione a fondare un Istituto di suore il cui scopo è “adorare perpetuamente Gesù Sacramentato, amarlo di vivo affetto, attingere dal Suo Cuore Sacratissimo l’ardore della carità che si spande a vantaggio dei prossimi”1. Le suore adoratrici raccolgono l’eredità spirituale del Fondatore e apprendono a riconoscere nel mistero eucaristico l’ “eccesso d’amore” di Dio per l’umanità. L’Eucaristia, quotidianamente celebrata e adorata, è per loro “scuola, giardino, soggiorno di virtù e di pace”2, mistero da cui attingere l’Amore per vivere e testimoniare l’«accesa carità» verso il Signore e verso i fratelli. Diversi sono gli ambiti della loro missione: offrono il loro contributo con un’azione incisiva nel mondo dell’educazione, privilegiando la presenza nella scuola dell’infanzia e primaria. Esercitano la loro opera anche in ambiti socio-sanitari: ospedali, istituti residenziali per diversamente abili e anziani autosufficienti e non, case d’accoglienza e strutture per le nuove emergenze sociali (ex-tossicodipendenti, minori a rischio). Offrono la collaborazione pastorale nella Chiesa locale, attente a condividere e a trasmettere uno stile di vita eucaristico e a promuovere una profonda spiritualità di comunione.

  • The Century of Romero: 1917-2017 1 the Century of Romero: 1917 – 2017
    The Century of Romero: 1917-2017 1 The Century of Romero: 1917 – 2017 August 2017 saw the centenary of St Oscar Romero’s birth. This is the timeline of those one hundred years with key dates in his life and the subsequent road to canonisation in 2018. 1917 Oscar Arnulfo Romero y Galdámez was born in Ciudad Barrios on August 15th, into a family of modest means, the second of eight children of Santos Romero and Guadalupe de Jesús Galdámez. 1931 He left behind his apprenticeship to a local carpenter and entered the minor seminary in San Miguel, run by the Claretians. 1937 In January he began studies at the major seminary in San Salvador. In September he was sent to the Pío Latino College in Rome and studied for the priesthood at the Gregorian University. 1942 Romero was ordained priest in Rome on April 4th and then began studies for a doctorate on ascetical theology. 1943 With the intensification of World War II he was sent back to El Salvador, via Cuba where he was interned for three months, arriving in his home diocese of San Miguel in December. 1944 He celebrated his first Mass in Ciudad Barrios on January 11th. Soon afterwards he was appointed Parish Priest of Anamorós and subsequently as Pastor and Cathedral Administrator in San Miguel. There followed more than two decades of devoted priestly service to the Church in San Miguel. 1967 On April 4th Romero celebrated the silver jubilee of his ordination and received the title ‘Monsignor’. He left San Miguel behind and moved to San Salvador to take up the position of Secretary of the Salvadoran Bishops’ Conference.

  • Seven New Saints in Heaven Dear Brothers and Sisters, Greetings to You and Your Loved Ones
    October 21, 2018 Connect - Grow - Give 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time Pastor's Message Seven New Saints in Heaven Dear Brothers and Sisters, Greetings to you and your loved ones. Last Sunday, Pope Francis canonized seven holy men and women. The names and brief biographies of each of the new saints were presented to the Holy Father and to the thousands of people in St. Peter’s Square on Sunday, October 14th, 2018 by the Prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, Cardinal Giovanni Becciu. (The Information below is from the Vatican Website). Saint Óscar Romero (1917-1980): The archbishop of San Salvador, El Salvador, from 1977 until his martyrdom, Archbishop Romero was an outspoken opponent of the political strife and injustice in his country, although he did not support liberation theology. Ordained a priest in 1942, he studied in Rome and served for many years as a parish priest, as auxiliary bishop of San Salvador and as bishop of Santiago de María. He was murdered March 24, 1980, while saying Mass, and his assassins were never brought to justice. He was declared a martyr by Pope Francis in early 2015 and beatified in May 2015 in San Salvador before a crowd of more than 250,000 faithful. Saint Vincenzo Romano (1751-1831): Saint Vincenzo Romano spent almost his entire life as a parish priest in the area around his native Naples, Italy. Ordained a priest in 1775, he spent many years at the Church of Santa Croce in his hometown of Torre del Greco, where he was given the name “The Worker Priest” because of his inexhaustible labors on behalf of his flock, especially the poor.

  • Father Francesco Spinelli Was Born in Milan on April, 1853. in 1875, His First Year of Priesthood, He Came to Rome for the Jubilee
    FATHER FRANCESCO SPINELLI’S LIFE (brief) Father Francesco Spinelli was born in Milan on April, 1853. In 1875, his first year of priesthood, he came to Rome for the Jubilee. At the basilica of St. Mary Major, he knelt before the crib of the Child Jesus: “I knelt, wept, prayed, and dreamt of a band of young women who would adore Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament”. Dream, vision, intuition? For Father Francesco the incarnation of Jesus in history continues through the daily incarnation of the Eucharistic Bread, as loving presence for everyone, to be adored and to be served in the poor. Bergamo (Italy), December 15, 1882: the dream becomes reality. Father Francesco began a new religious family with the first three sisters, who adored the Eucharist and drew love from It for the service of other brothers and sisters. The work of God, however, are always sealed by the cross, marked by suffering: after a promising start, on March 4, 1889, calumnies and plots forced Father Francesco to leave the diocese of Bergamo and his Institute. Like a grain of wheat, he willingly gave his life to be planted in the will of God. On March 4, 1889, Father Francesco appeared at the community of Rivolta d’Adda, penniless and betrayed by his own. He urged the sisters to remain united, and asked if they were ready to face fatigue and difficulty to give continuity to the Institute. The response was unanimous. In everyday life, sacrifices and joys are multiplied: before the Eucharist, the Founder and his sisters found unity, strength, comfort and peace.
