Carissimo,

allego il numero 3 di SANT'ANNIBALE dedicato all'EDUCAZIONE: Arte delle Arti.

All'insegnamento del Fondatore sull'educazione segue l'approfondimento biblico di don De Virgilio, l'insegnamento del Pontefice cui si aggiunge l'importanza della Liturgia che educa ed esige educazione. Il ruolo della mamma/donna nell'Educazione affiora nell'esperienza del Servo di Dio P. Marrazzo.

Buona giornata e buon inizio di anno scolastico e pastorale.

As part of the three-year preparation for the 50th anniversary of the foundation of the Rogationist Congregation in the Philippines and in Asia in 2026, the Saint Matthew Province has launched a contest for the logo ("Logo para sa Jubeleo") and theme song ("Cantate et Rogate") for this historic event. The inspiring theme of the Golden Jubilee Year is "Grace upon Grace" based on the Gospel of John, 1:16. A commission, headed by Fr. Jessie Martirizar, has been formed to organize a series of initiatives and events that will last for three years, beginning on November 23, 2023.
