Nuovo diacono per la congregazione
- 07 March 2023
Sabato 4 marzo, nella chiesa parrocchiale di san Leonardo Murialdo, a Viterbo, John C. Nnadi è stato ordinato diacono dal vescovo mons. Orazio Francesco Piazza. È stata per lui la prima ordinazione dal suo recente ingresso in Diocesi. Piacevole e gradita è stata la sua riflessione. John era particolarmente preso dal momento. La celebrazione si è svolta in un clima sereno e familiare, e, a detta di qualcuno, a tratti commovente. Sicuramente sono stati momenti particolarmente carichi di sentimento la litanica invocazione dei santi, l’imposizione delle mani fatta nel silenzio, la preghiera dell’ordinazione, la vestizione della dalmatica, la consegna dell’Evangelario (“Credi ciò che proclami, insegna ciò che hai appreso, vivi ciò che insegni”) e l’abbraccio che ha sigillato l’ordinazione. A cascata sono seguiti gli auguri, gli applausi, le foto e i regali. A casa poi non sono mancati i brindisi, i canti e i balli. Il ricordo è andato inoltre ai suoi cari che hanno potuto seguire l’ordinazione in diretta, via facebook. Gradita è stata la presenza di religiosi e religiose. L’indomani, domenica, John ha espresso il suo servizio diaconale nella parrocchia della Sacra Famiglia, dove presta il suo aiuto pastorale. Al neo ordinato diacono vanno i nostri migliori auguri di un
servizio fatto con amorevolezza all’altare e con cura fraterna nei luoghi di vita ordinaria dove la carità richiederà la sua presenza. A sua volta John ringrazia quanti gli sono stati vicini nel suo cammino formativo. La gioia del Signore sia la nostra forza.

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.
