Ricordando p. Paolo Novero
- 19 September 2023
Domenica 17 settembre, nella chiesa parrocchiale di Cristo Re (Lucera), p. Giuseppe MINNISCI, parroco e rettore dell'Opera S. Giuseppe, ha presieduto la celebrazione eucaristica delle 11.30, con la quale si è omaggiato p. Paolo NOVERO, Giuseppino del Murialdo, venuto a mancare in un tragico incidente stradale il 3 gennaio 2005, assieme a Mario BENINCASO, collaboratore laico dell'Opera.
La Celebrazione eucaristica è stata tenuta in occasione del 60° compleanno, che il religioso giuseppino, originario di Ciriè, provincia di Torino, avrebbe festeggiato proprio oggi. Il ricordo di p. Paolo è stato emozionante e profondo, grazie alle parole di p. Giuseppe, il quale durante l'omelia ha consegnato ai fedeli e a quanti hanno conosciuto ed amato il religioso scomparso alcuni passaggi del suo testamento spirituale (che i Giuseppini scrivono all'atto della professione perpetua).
P. Paolo in quello scritto manifestava le caratteristiche salienti della sua personalità e del suo apostolato, fondati sul dialogo, sull'incontro, sul perdono, sull'accoglienza e sulla gioia. Il canto finale della Celebrazione ha poi portato gli animi dei presenti nei sentimenti più forti e toccanti, tanto da rendere gli occhi lucidi di lacrime a molti di loro. Il canto in questione fu composto da Gianni FINIZIO immediatamente dopo la scomparsa di p. Paolo, "AMICI CIAO". Un ciao che rinnoviamo di vero cuore: ciao, p. Paolo. E' stato bello conoscerti. Buona strada!

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.
