Holy Mass and Rosary, as well as farm visits are ways by which stronger bonds of friendship, support and communication get stablished.

Let us open the door of our hearts in hospitality and solidarity! Jesus, who passed doing good and curing all those oppressed by the devil (Acts 10:38), taught us to care for the foreigner. So we imitate his example! Finally, the Provincial Superior for the Scalabrinians will be in the area from Sept 7 to 11. Fr Miguel Alvarez, CS will conduct a Canonical Visit. It is an opportunity to encounter the confreres and the community they are assigned to; it is also a great occasion to evaluate and plan at personal and community levels.
