Geography Palermo – which, with a population of nearly 700,000, is one of the largest cities in Italy – is located in a beautiful position in the centre of a large bay enclosed by the imposing headland of Monte Pellegrino to the north and Capo Zafferano to the south. Behind it lies a small plain known as Conca d’Oro (Golden Basin) to the fertility of its land where citrus and olive groves thrive. An important feature of the layout of the city’s historic centre is the intersection of Corso Vittorio Emanuele and Via Maqueda, determining the division of the city into four districts, called mandamenti.

The institute first received ecclesiastical approval by the archbishop of Paris in 1646, but the first approbation, together with the royal letters patent were inexplicably lost.

The statutes of this institute were confirmed in the name of Pope Clement IX by his legate, Cardinal Louis de Bourbon, duke de Vendome, on8 July 1668.

    Fr. Bruno Rampazzo RCJ The Inspiration of the Rogate in Its 150th Anniversary Circular Letter to the Family of the Rogate Rome 2020 1 Original Title: L’ispirazione del Rogate nel suo 150o anniversario. Lettera Circolare alla Famiglia del Rogate, Roma, 2020. Translation: Fr. Jose Maria Ezpeleta RCJ Authorization to Print: Fr. Bruno Rampazzo RCJ, Superior General of the Rogationists of the Heart of Jesus © Rogationists of the Heart of Jesus General Commission on Translations Rome, June 1, 2020. 2 Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every infirmity. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; pray, therefore, to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest!” (Mt. 9: 35-38, RSV) To the Family of the Rogate: Rogationists, Daughters of Divine Zeal, Missionaries of the Rogate, Lay Associates, collaborators and benefactors, devotees of Saint Hannibal Mary Di Francia. 3 4 Introduction 1. In his well-known self-eulogy, Father Hannibal could not help but confess that the Rogate was the passion of his life: “For the Rogate, we say nothing: he dedicated himself to it, either out of zeal or by fixation, or both.”1 He discovered the Rogate as a teenager and, over the years, he progressively confirmed that his existence was marked by this resource idea. When he became aware of having received the mission to be the Apostle of the Rogate, he handed the Rogate to his spiritual daughters and sons as the charism that the Spirit gave to the Church through the Institutions that he gave rise to.
