"International Reconciliation Week"
Moments of reflection and formation of priests
San Giovanni Rotondo, 14-18 March, 2011
We live today in a world which is strongly marked by secularization. It tends to remove God from the horizon of life and hinder discernment between good and evil. This situation makes the ministry of those who administer the Divine Mercy even more urgent, as the recently concluded Year of Priests has reminded us.
The Capuchin friars, moved by the examples of their saints, feel strongly the need for greater commitment to this service in the Church. They, therefore, desire to offer an opportunity for reflection and formation to all priests on this topic.
The International Reconciliation Week with its title “The Sacrament of Reconciliation in a Secularized World” will take place from 14 to 18 March 2011 at San Giovanni Rotondo, the place where the well-known Capuchin confessor, St. Pio of Pietrelcina, lived.
We offer this opportunity to all Capuchins and all religious and secular priests who speak Italian, English or Spanish. The leaflet containing the information and program can be downloaded in your language from the site of the General Secretariat of Formation www.ugfofmcap.blogspot.com or from the site of the Sanctuary of Saint Pio of Pietrelcina at San Giovanni Rotondo www.santuariopadrepio.it .
