Formative Visit

General Formation Secretariat under the mandate given by the Minister General continues to visit the houses of initial formation of the Order. It is an opportunity to have a mutual understanding between the organism of general animation and the places of formation to be more attentive and generous for the formation of young friars.
Visit to the places of formation of CIMPCap started from May 04, with the visit to theological study house at Fossano in Piemonte and the house of first experience (casa di accoglienza) in Turin.
Visit to houses of formation of Peru took place from 8 to 24 March 2010 as was planned already in March last year, after a meeting with the CCB held in Brasilia from 04 to 06 together with trainers from Brazil.
The visit is a very fruitful an occasion to realize how our international fraternity invests the best for the formation of young people who want to join the Order.
We all must have hope and confidence about the initial formation because that is the "place" of our future. Formators should be encouraged for their tedious but thrilling task of guiding the young people to offer their lives to God for others, reminding them that they must take care of those entrusted to them but also must care for their personal formation.
From 17 to 31 May we will visit the Province of Emilia Romagna: Post novitiate at Scandiano, Novitiate of St. Arcangelo di Romagna, Theological Study House at Castel S. Pietro (BO).
