About 40 Capuchin friars who were participating in the ongoing formation program at the headquarters friary of Nirmala Matha Custody at Guwahati, Assam-Meghalaya, descended on the non-descript village of AMPHANGGRE on 10 December 2017 for the blessing of its newly built chapel and for the Holy Mass, giving a festive mood for the occasion. Obviously the villagers were overjoyed at the presence of a large number of Capuchins in their small hilly village. Children and elders alike heartily welcomed each one with a broad smile, warm hand shake, and the JISUNA RASONG (‘Praise be to Jesus Christ’) greeting on their lips, which are customary among Garo tribe in the north-eastern part of India.

Ongoing Formation in Jerusalem- For a New & Inspiring Franciscan Focus!

Coming to Holy Land is a moment for renewal and experiencing God’s presence personally in Jesus. Being here, one always has the experience of ‘home coming’ to the central place of our faith and rediscovering our roots.

Centralità della formazione

candela 01

La velocità dei cambiamenti socio-culturali e anche ecclesiali ci chiedono una formazione più esigente e più accurata. Capire i nuovi problemi del mondo, essere consapevoli delle proprie difficoltà per vivere con senso la nostra vita, accompagnare le nuove problematiche antropologiche, diventa ogni giorno più impegnativo.

Proporre corsi e diverse attività va bene, ma sembra insufficiente. Abbiamo bisogno di una politica nell’ambito della formazione, capace di produrre cambiamenti strutturali. Queste politiche concrete, frutto di una riflessione senza fretta, vengono accompagnate da una metodologia concreta, più precisa nella sua programmazione, con i suoi obiettivi concreti, criteri di valutazione e anche dei tempi e dei responsabili della verifica di ogni programma e progetto.
