  • European Justice and Peace Commissions Unite in Solidarity for Care of Creation
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 26, 2017 Media contact: GCC: Cecilia Dall'Oglio, [email protected], +393331271680 JPEuropa: Stefan Lunte, stefan.lunte@comece, +33680179422 European Justice and Peace Commissions Unite in solidarity for Care of Creation The Conference of European Justice and Peace Commissions is promoting care for Creation as part of its international workshop and general assembly meeting. The Conference of European Justice and Peace Commissions is a network of 31 national Justice and Peace Commissions, which are mandated by their bishops' conferences. The gathering, which is themed “On Spiritual Roots and Political Fruits,” is a pilgrimage for justice and peace and care of Creation, 22-25 September. It took place at the Taizé monastic community. Cardinal Peter Turkson, Prefect of the Dicastery for the Promotion of Integral Human Development, attended the first two days of the gathering, and Rev. Claire Sixte-Gateuille, National Secretary for International relations of The United Protestant Church in France and delegate of CEC adressed the audience as well. Cecilia Dall’Oglio, Italian Justice and Peace Commission and GCCM European Manger, introduced the symbolic action for Season of Creation and delegates of National commissions of Justice and Peace, the attending bishops and the brothers of Taizé physically enacted their commitment to care for Creation. All removed their shoes, standing barefoot on Earth to demonstrate radical renewal of a connection with Creation. Participants then placed soil taken from wounded sites in their countries into a container, symbolizing unity in the face of common social and environmental devastation. Each contribution of soil was meaningful. For example, the German Commission brought soil from the UN Climate Secretariat in Bonn as a sign of encouragement to the UN climate negotiators.

  • January 2020
    INM FMA / Pro. Cir. 31 January 2020 Viva Gesu`! “As for Mary, she treasured all these things and pondered them in her heart”. - (Lk.2:19) My Dearest Sisters, Wish you a very happy and grace-filled New Year 2020! On the very first day of the year, the Church celebrates the solemnity of Mary Mother of God, a title given to the Virgin Mary during the Council of Ephesus in 431, entrusting the entire year to the motherly care of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Pope Francis says that the love of the mothers is the foundation of humanity and the cure for a world often divided and filled with bitterness. He praises mothers for the “heroism” they show in self-giving, strength in compassion, wisdom in meekness and for the loving accompaniment of their children. A world that looks to the future without a mother’s gaze is shortsighted. It may well increase its profits but it will no longer see others as brothers and sisters. He is indeed amazed by the Mother of God who was deeply united with her son Jesus and journeyed with Him throughout His life on earth and beyond with her admirable motherly qualities. He recommends us to ask Mary for “the grace to be amazed at the God of surprises” as 2020 gets started. May she bless the path of every man and woman in this year that is just beginning. It will be good precisely in the measure in which each person welcomes God’s goodness which Jesus came to bring into the world.

Today the invitation is made to everyone: Come! Get to know Valdocco. Browse around. Experience this place. Be still and listen to what the “walls are saying” because “at Valdocco, everything speaks”... What has taken place in transforming this space is much more than the mere remodeling of walls and rooms. A dream has come to life. It all began more than 160 years ago when a small band of young men and boys who loved their educator, Don Bosco, made the commitment to give life to a 'Society' - the “Pious Society of Saint Francis de Sales”. Out of this first small group grew a new Religious Order, today cal - led the “Salesians of Don Bosco”. Prior to the gathering of that small band, Don Bosco had arrived at the "Pinardi" property and shed. He rented its two pieces of land to begin the first permanent Salesian Oratory. It was here, in this humble and simple place, that his precious work began. In this, he followed the example of Our Lord who was born in a stable, in the greatest poverty, and with the sole protection of the loving arms of his Mother, Mary of Nazareth, and of her humble spouse, St. Joseph. Today as Yesterday. In just a few days, October 2-4, 2020, we will celebrate with the public the realization of a “ dream ”, a beautiful dream, of making the Pinardi property a place that “ speaks ”.

  • Provincial Circular 01 January 2019
    PROVINCIAL CIRCULAR 01 JANUARY 2019 DEAR CONFRERES, Greetings and Prayerful Wishes at the dawn of this New Year 2019. “The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you. The Lord turn his face to you and give you peace (Num 6: 24 – 26).” At the outset I wish you all a prosperous and peaceful new year 2019. I extend my prayers and blessings that the Good Lord may continue to bless all of us, lead us and make us ready to surrender to His will throughout this year. Stepping into another year, should call us to introspect our past, take stock of our present and march ahead with a new hope of growing closer to HIM, the source of our true joy and peace. On the first day of the year we celebrate our Blessed Mother as the ‘Mother of God.’ She becomes our Mother who is tender and lowly, poor in material goods and rich in love, free of sin and united to Jesus, surrendered her entire self to God and pondered everything in Silence. As her children, we look at her on the first day of the year to begin anew and to march ahead with her motherly protection. On 24 January we keep the feast of St. Francis De Sales who inspired St. John Bosco with his meekness and from whom we derive the name ‘Salesians.’ Let us pray to the patron of our congregation that we may imitate him in his extraordinary meekness and in winning the souls of the young.

  • January 2019
    XXVI/8 January 2019 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ My dearest Sisters, Affectionate greetings from the Provincial House as we begin the New Year 2019! We are fortunate to enter the New Year as it is a precious gift of God to us. He assures us of his presence and accompaniment in different ways and which is found in the various verses of the Scripture. Let us meditate on some of these Scripture passages personally to find strength and courage to begin this year with great enthusiasm and passion to love God more intimately and to radiate the same love to the community and the mission entrusted to us. By praying and reflecting on the Word of God we can be victorious in all circumstances of life. May the New Year bring new life to each one of us and help us to live the New Year resolutions with great constancy and resoluteness. “See I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name”. (Rev.3.18) “Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done”. ( Rev.22: 12) And the Lord said to Moses, “I will do the very thing you have asked, because I am pleased with you and I know you by name “. (Ex. 33:17) This is what the Lord says: “Restrain your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears, for your work will be rewarded”.

  • VALDOCCO – the LAND of SANCTITY the Path to Holiness in the Company of the Saints
    VALDOCCO – THE LAND OF SANCTITY The Path to Holiness in the company of the Saints Going through some places of our origins, we want to welcome the call to holiness of Pope Francis which resounds loudly for us today through his witness of life and the Word. 1 The Family of Don Bosco, developing a characteristic spirituality of charismatic origin, enriches the whole Body of the Church with a very particular model of Christian life. This is borne out by the numerous groups of spiritual sons and daughters of Don Bosco who have already been declared Venerable or saints, or set out on the path of beatification and canonization.... (From the Charismatic Identity Card of the Salesian Family, 6).
