Realease of Calendar for the Academic Year

Dear Confreres in the Lord,

With joy and gratitude, we share with you our Calendar for the Academic Year. This is more than a simple list of dates, it is an invitation to walk together in faith, fraternity, and mission. Each moment marked here is an opportunity for us to renew our consecration, to serve with humility, and to deepen our communion as sons of our Father and Founder St. Louis Orione.

This year is for us a Pilgrimage of Hope. As Pope Francis reminded us in his message for the Jubilee Year: “Hope does not disappoint, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit” (Rom 5:5). Let us therefore approach these meetings, encounters, and commitments not as duties, but as occasions of grace, as chances to experience God’s care for us and through us, for the people entrusted to us.

Some of the decisions we take together may feel like new steps, perhaps even trials for a year. They are not imposed burdens but shared paths that we walk in humility and trust, listening to one another and to the Spirit, so that we may discern what leads us closer to Christ and His Church. We invite each of you, brothers, to embrace them with openness, with an ardent missionary desire, and with the courage of faith.

Let us remember that we are not alone. We carry each other, as a family, as a delegation, in the heart of Mary, Our Lady of Good Health. In moments of weariness, may we lift our eyes to her, for she teaches us to believe against all hope, to remain steadfast at the foot of the Cross, and to rejoice in the light of the Resurrection.

As we are journeying together, let us be guided by the words of the Pope Francis in Dilexit Nos: “The heart is the dwelling place where our thoughts and feelings are born. It is there that the Spirit wishes to dwell, to heal, to console, and to guide.” May our hearts remain open, and may our steps be firm in hope.

With fatherly affection, fraternal closeness, and humble trust, we invite you, dear confreres, to take this calendar into your hands not just as a schedule, but as a spiritual compass for the year. kindly refer the calender which is sent to your respective e-mails. May we live it with enthusiasm, perseverance, and joy, witnessing always that the Church and Christ care for the little ones through our lives.

Let us walk together.

In Faith
