Dear Brothers,
Pace e Bene!

Wishing you a pleasant time of renewal during this time of Easter!

As our Pope Francis has said, let us not lose the hope that is within us! And let love be our motivating language of communication and living. The resurrecting power of Christ is within us, offering us the possibility to begin again a new life. Let us share that life with others, especially the needy. Happy Easter! And we wish that there be Pentecost in all our lives.

Our General Minister Br. Mauro Jöhri with his Definitory invites us again to form ourselves continuously in whatever way possible. We are called by them to reflect on the Formation Programme of the Order (Ratio Formationis) that we are to develop gradually within these six years. Along with that we would try to reach you through some of the animation programmes we are planning to have during this time. Some of our objectives are as follows: ‘Ratio Formationis’ preparations at different levels, conducting animation programmes (both for initial and ongoing formation, some in the repective conferences themselves), establishing contact with the formation houses and friars of the Order through the website, connecting with friars who are involved in special ministries around the globe, networking with the animation centres of the Order.

And here our Formation Office is ever ready to collaborate with you as were our predecessors Br. Rocco Timpano and Br. Marek Miszczyński in the past years. May God reward them!

Keep in touch with us.
