13 febbraio 2018 - Carissimi, vorrei condividere con voi le foto più recenti della costruzione del seminario di Maumere. Si prevede che la costruzione sia completata in agosto.
Saluti da tutti i formatori della Provincia San Matteo. Questa riunione è per me la più fruttuosa che ho avuto di questo genere. Tutti quanti sono impegnati al miglioramento del Direttorio di Formazione della Circoscrizione. Purtroppo domani il luogo dove siamo riuniti sarà colpito da un tifone minore (65km/ora), ma comunque, il lavoro continua. Buona Quaresima a tutti.
