Training and Support Network: The School for Educators in San Giuseppe Vesuviano

From August 28 to 30, 2026, the community of San Giuseppe Vesuviano hosted the training program "School for Educators", three intensive days dedicated to educators and professionals, with the primary goal of inspiring renewal under the guiding theme: “One thing leads to another... Change, Renewal, Transformation”. The training program offered educators an experience rich in spirituality, sharing, and rediscovery of the local area, fostering discussion on the themes of renewal and personal and communal transformation. The program alternated between moments of guided reflection, prayer, and pedagogical insights—such as the focus on Murialdi’s spiritual foundations and the presentation of the “School for Educators” accompaniment program by Fr. Victor Abreu and Fr. Alejandro Bazan—and meaningful field visits and experiences. Among these were visits to the early Christian basilicas and the community of the Salesian Sisters in Torre del Greco; a meeting with the “Jamm restiamo umani” association in Marigliano; and the testimony of the “La Paranza” cooperative in the Rione Sanità neighborhood of Naples, culminating in a concluding reflection session held at the Murialdian mission in Naples. What is the "Murialdo Welcome Network" in Italy? The Murialdo Welcome Network in Italy brings together all the ministries, communities, group homes, day centers, and socio-educational projects promoted by the Giuseppini del Murialdo and the lay members of the Murialdo Family throughout the country. It serves as the operational and charismatic arm that addresses the needs of children, at-risk youth, vulnerable families, and people at risk of social exclusion. By working together as a network, these organizations share the pedagogy of love taught by St. Leonard Murialdo, transforming their welcoming efforts into a journey of growth, education, and social reintegration.

The Superior General’s Visit to India: Fraternity, Growth, and Education

From August 10 to September 1, the Superior General, Fr. Nadir Poletto (C.S.J.), made a significant fraternal visit to India, meeting with his confreres and visiting all the locations where our Congregation is present in the country. His first stop was in Chennai, at the philosophy formation house and the House of Hope mission, a group home that welcomes and cares for very young people in need. The trip then continued to the north of the country to the Saint Joseph Academy in Bihar. In this region, marked by severe social and economic vulnerabilities, our school serves as a beacon of hope for hundreds of young people. During the visit, Father General inaugurated the second floor of the school complex: a vital expansion that will offer an even greater number of students the opportunity to access a quality education in a safe environment. The visit concluded in Chembarakky, the site of our novitiate, where Fr. Nadir shared moments of deep fellowship and prayer with the young men in formation. On this occasion, the Father General celebrated the feast of ONAM together with his confreres. What is the ONAM festival? It is one of the most important and deeply cherished festivals in the state of Kerala (in southern India), linked to the harvest season and local cultural traditions. It is a celebration characterized by a strong spirit of inclusivity and community, bringing people together in the spirit of prosperity, sharing, brotherhood, and hospitality.
