MISSIONARI GIUSEPPINI IN CONTINENTE AFRICANO

19 October 2020

Se quando diciamo “missionari” intendiamo anche coloro che hanno lasciato la loro terra e vivono in un paese diverso dal proprio nella lingua, nella cultura, nelle tradizioni … be’ allora i Giuseppini del Murialdo nella loro storia ne hanno avuti veramente tantissimi.

MISSIONARI ITALIANI in AFRICA

In questo Ottobre missionario vogliamo ricordarne alcuni e, in questa news e in queste foto, soprattutto i Giuseppini Italiani che sono andati in West Africa (Sierra Leone, Guinea Bissau, Ghana, Nigeria): alcuni sono stati i pionieri e sono già in cielo, come P. Lino Barbieri, p. Antonio Maculan, p. Tarcisio Riondato, p. Giuseppe Cavallin. Altri sono ora in altre province, ma hanno trascorso in Africa molto tempo: p. Giovanni Martelli, p. Lorenzo Vanini, p. Luigi Cencin, p. Giambattista Nicolato, p. Gabriele Prandi, Fratel Marco De Magistris, p. Eugenio Beni, … Altri sono ancora in Africa: p. Mario Zarantonello, p. Maurizio Boa, p. Bruno Guzzonato, p. Giovanni Zanni, p. Giuliano Pini, p. Antonio Testa, Fratel Giuseppe Negro, p. Luigino Rossi, p. Pierangelo Valerio, p. Mariolino Parati.

Tutta la Famiglia del Murialdo prova un “umile orgoglio” per questi confratelli e attraverso il nostro sito e questa news in questo mese missionario mandiamo loro il nostro fraterno abbraccio, il nostro sostegno economico quando possiamo, ma soprattutto la nostra intensa preghiera!

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.
