Il messaggio del padre generale per l'anno nuovo
- 01 January 2021
AUGURI. BUON ANNO 2021
Roma, 1 gennaio 2021
Carissimi.
Oggi primo gennaio 2021 inizia un nuovo anno.
Abbiamo attraversato un anno difficile, inedito sotto tanti aspetti, con tanto dolore dentro e attorno a noi, con tanta incertezza e a volte perfino sfiducia.
Abbiamo provato nella carne la nostra fragilità, la nostra vulnerabilità, il nostro limite.
Forse abbiamo appreso ad essere più umili, misericordiosi con noi e con gli altri, più accoglienti per quanti sono nella prova.
Iniziamo questo nuovo anno sotto il patrocinio di san Giuseppe, e a lui chiediamo che il 2021 ci incontri più umani, più solidali, più consapevoli nel prenderci cura gli uni degli altri.
Nell’anno appena passato 21 confratelli ci hanno lasciato: per tutti loro la nostra memoria riconoscente.
Ai nuovi professi (11), ai professi perpetui (4), ai novelli sacerdoti (9), un forte abbraccio e un augurio di realizzare con pienezza la propria vocazione di giuseppini del Murialdo.
A chi ci ha lasciato (7) per percorrere altre strade e realizzare meglio la propria vocazione umana e cristiana, ogni augurio fraterno.
Sarà probabilmente un anno in salita, lo affrontiamo con serenità, con fiducia e mettendocela tutta, sapendo soprattutto che non siamo soli e possiamo camminare insieme.
Un forte abbraccio per ciascuno e ogni augurio.
Che san Giuseppe, custode di Gesù e di Maria, custodisca la Famiglia del Murialdo e ciascuno di noi.
p. Tullio Locatelli

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.
