Summary

The reform of the Roman Curia with Pope Francis, Apostolic Constitution Praedicate Evangelium strives to streamline the various dicasteries and institutes attached to the Holy See, so that they become more responsive and functional in the evangelizing mission of the Church. This webinar will attempt to outline the Roman Curia's main changes which reflect the curial institutions' main features: vicarious power, organic cooperation, and decentralizing co-responsibility. Structural changes do not suffice for the renewed understanding of the service of the Roman Curia, but it also requires first and foremost a change of mentality and conduct in the operators: professionalism, pastoral approach, and universality of service of those in charge, whether clerics or laity. (Michael Nobel, Pastor Bonus Praedicate Evangelium. Commentary, Ottawa, KDP, 2022, 22) In short, Praedicate Evangelium sets out several principles and criteria for the service of the Roman Curia which will be discussed during the webinar.

A few shots of what happened in the month of July. Let us thank the Lord and pray for these persons.

This is a first announcement of the trip.

The costs are higher than in the past due to the covid and higher fuel costs, but it is certainly worthwhile to begin saving now for a pilgrimage with other faithful to the land of Jesus.

Homily of the Sunday

I would like to share with you this wonderful article written by experienced parents:

Sometimes at the end of Mass a parishioner comes up to us and says “Your three children are SO well behaved!” Our standard response is either, “Thank you. We work at it” or “Thank you, some days are better than others.” The “better” days are the product of years of articles and brochures we read on taking children to Mass. Here is the distilled wisdom we rely upon.

Fully booked

The pilgrimage to Medjugorje is unfortunately already fully booked. 

Our colleagues and good friends of the Beguinage Chapel had a party last Friday. Due to covid the celebration was postponed till now.

On the above link, you can find some photos that give a good idea of the excellent atmosphere and the joy of the event.

Congratulations, and ad multos annos.

Monday the 27th we celebrated the Mass to thank the Lord for Saint Josemaria's life.

After the Mass, we had a family gathering and here you can see some pictures.

Om Monday evening June 27th at 19.30 there is a Holy Mass in thanksgiving for the life of the priest and founder Josemaria Escriva

The main celebrant will be the regional vicar of the Prelature, Mgr. Christian van der Ploeg.

You are all most welcome.

On Friday, Masses are at 12:15 and at 7:30 pm in the chapel (218B).

On Saturday, Mass is at 7:00 p.m. in the church.

On June 12th a group of children did their first Holy Communion during the evening Mass

The professional photographer was this time Luciana Benaduce Figueirido

Some people who attended sent these pictures and videos. (See the city and the church)

With thanks to the Syrian Orthodox Community you may follow the whole procession that was sent as live-stream.

With thanks to the parents of the children who participated in the catechesis this academic year.

With gratitude to the children who prepared very well and with true devotion.
