Third Reconciliation Week

SAN GIOVANNI ROTONDO  The third International Reconciliation Week in the fiftieth year of the opening of the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council will take place from March 11 to 15, 2013, and will have the theme: “I believe in the forgiveness of sins”. This time of reflection and formation for priests, in this year dedicated to a greater deepening of our faith, seeks to spur consideration of this article of the Creed and the Tradition of the Church as it speaks to the regenerating and saving Mercy of God. The initiative, which is by now a tradition, is carried out in a fraternal collaboration between the General Secretariat of Formation and the shrine of St. Pio of Pietrelcina. This year it will see the special participation of major representatives of the Apostolic Penitentiary and the Congregation for the Clergy, as well as the voice of a lay theologian and a roundtable of journalists and laity who will speak to us on the reception of this article of faith in the culture of today. For information and to invite your participation, together with everyone with whom you will share the invitation, you may consult the program of the week and download the brochure and registration form here: program.
