Sanger, November 30, 2021.

A topic on Rogationist Parish Ministry characterized the second day of the Assembly. Msgr. John Griesbach, a diocesan priest and director of Three Rivers Retreat House talked about the importance and meaning of the Parish's Pastoral Plan. After his reflection, there was a fruitful time of sharing about this topic. There was an exchange of ideas on organizing the pastoral ministry and characterizing it as Rogationist ministry.

Our Lady of Guadalupe Delegation inaugurated this year’s Annual Assembly by the celebration of the Eucharist presided by Fr. John Bruno, the superior of the house of Sanger, and concelebrated by all the priests. Fr. John Bruno’s reflection said that as Delegation, he would like to pray for our deceased confreres who passed away and were the pioneers of this Delegation. He reminds the confreres not to forget the past but build on what the former Rogationists already built. He exhorted us to be humble and to appreciate one another.

Van Nuys, martedì  23 novembre 2021. Come ogni martedì, una lunga fila gente si presenta di buon  mattino davanti al Centro di Servizio della nostra parrocchia per ricevere cibo e vestiti distribuiti dai volontari della  nostra comunità parrocchiale, organizzati e diretti da P. Shinto Sebastian, fedele figlio e discepolo di Sant'Annibale. Questa mattina però la fila era più lunga del solito, perché  antivigilia del Thanksgiving Day, giorno in cui si mangia il tradizionale tacchino.
