Al via il Mese Murialdino 2026: lunedì inizia l'esperienza che unisce la Famiglia di Murialdo nel mondo

  • 03 October 2026

SAN FRANCISCO DE MOSTAZAL (CILE) – Tutto è pronto per l'inizio del Mese Murialdino 2026, un appuntamento di grazia e comunione per l'intera Congregazione di San Giuseppe e la Famiglia del Murialdo. Il prossimo lunedì 5 ottobre prenderà ufficialmente il via l'incontro presso la Casa di Ritiri Alvernia a San Francisco de Mostazal (Cile), che vedrà la partecipazione di circa 190 persone tra Giuseppini, Suore Murialdine, laici, educatori e giovani provenienti da diverse parti del mondo.

L'iniziativa, affidata dal Padre Generale e dal suo Consiglio alla Provincia religiosa Argentina-Cile, è frutto di un lungo lavoro coordinato da una Commissione Esecutiva. Per tre settimane, i partecipanti si alterneranno per condividere il carisma, riflettere sulle sfide educative e pastorali attuali e rinnovare la missione ereditata da san Leonardo Murialdo.

A tutta la Famiglia del Murialdo va l'invito ad accompagnare con la preghiera questo intenso tempo di incontro, discernimento e rinnovamento carismatico!

Perpetual Profession and Priestly Ordination at Santa María de La Sierra: The Murialdian Mission is Renewed in the Heart of Medellín

MEDELLÍN (COLOMBIA) – These have been days of great celebration and profound symbolic significance for the Congregation of St. Joseph and for the entire Murialdo Family. At the Santa María de La Sierra Parish in Medellín, two key events in the life of our religious family took place: - On Friday, September 25, 2026, Brother  Cheismir Mosquera Mena, C.S.J., made his Perpetual Profession, taking the vows of Poverty, Chastity, and Obedience; - the following day, Saturday, September 26, Deacon  Sergio Suárez Mejía, C.S.J., was ordained a priest by Monsignor Carlos Alberto Correa Martínez, a native of Medellín and the current bishop of Apartadó. The decision to celebrate the perpetual vows and priestly ordination in this particular parish represents a strong reminder of the founding charism of St. Leonardo Murialdo. The community of Santa María de La Sierra, located in Comuna 8 (Villa Hermosa) in Medellín, is in fact the center of an intense pastoral and social ministry launched by the Josephites in 2001. Born in a historically complex context marked by urban conflicts, the Murialdo community’s presence in the neighborhood has solidified over the years as a bastion of education, support for vulnerable families, the promotion of peace, and the rebuilding of the social fabric. The decision of the two religious brothers to commit their vows and ministry to this area bears witness to their desire to embody the mission among young people and the most marginalized in the suburbs.

New Edition of Vita Giuseppina: Murialdian Vocational Education—History, AI, and the Future in the World

Dear readers, In this issue of *Vita Giuseppina* 5-26, we are pleased to share with you a central aspect of the Murialdo charism: the Murialdo-inspired vocational formation of young people and workers. In 19th-century Turin, in the midst of the Industrial Revolution, Leonardo Murialdo—rector of the Artigianelli since 1866—knew how to read the signs of the times. He chose work as the heart of a human and Christian educational journey, pointing to St. Joseph as the educational model to be emulated. Today, in the age of artificial intelligence, new challenges and new questions confront the Church, educational institutions, parents, formators, and the entire Murialdo Family. In this rapidly evolving landscape, Murialdo-style vocational formation for young people and workers remains an indispensable resource for “safeguarding humanity”, promoting the dignity, freedom, and integral growth of every young person. In this issue, we invite you to discover a journey that unites memory, the present, and the future: from the roots of the charism to the stories of concrete testimonies from the CSJ and the FdM in Africa, Albania, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Italy, and Spain. We hope you all enjoy reading this issue, with your eyes turned toward the world and your hearts always anchored in the charism that unites us. The Editorial Staff

MOVIMUR 2026: The Murialdine Schools Network Meets in Porto Alegre

Promoting meetings among young leaders from Murialdo schools is an extraordinary asset for our social and educational work: it enhances networking, encourages the exchange of experiences among students, and strengthens the sense of belonging to a large global family. It was precisely in this spirit that MOVIMUR took place—the annual gathering of student and youth movements within the Murialdo Education Network in Brazil, an event that brings together young people from different schools to experience moments of integration, spirituality, leadership, and sharing. The 7th edition of the event was held in Porto Alegre (Brazil) on September 18 and 19, 2026, hosted at the Colégio Murialdo in Porto Alegre. This year’s event had as its theme “Leadership and Hospitality” and as its motto the Gospel verse “He came to dwell among us” (John 1:14). Along with educational and spiritual activities, the gathering promoted concrete acts of solidarity, such as the traditional fundraising and donation drive for the “Projeto Morro da Cruz,” in support of local communities. At the conclusion of the event, the location of the 8th edition (2027) was announced; it will be hosted by the school of Ana Rech in Caxias do Sul. To view highlights, photos, and videos of the activities, visit the social media profiles and the official Instagram channel of Colégio Murialdo in Porto Alegre.
