L’iniziativa del logo-mosaico che coinvolge gli studenti di Engim Veneto

In queste settimane le classi stanno rientrando gradualmente in presenza e in tutte le sedi ENGIM VENETO ad aspettare i ragazzi, ci sarà l’attività lanciata a Natale dal gruppo di ANIMAZIONE PASTORALE GIUSEPPINA con protagonista il logo ENGIM: “ognuno di noi è rappresentato da una piccola tessera di un grande mosaico che è la famiglia dell’Engim; è un segno per dire che se ciascuno farà la sua parte renderemo più bello il mondo intero” aveva detto don Tony, padre provinciale dei Giuseppini del Murialdo, nel videomessaggio natalizio mandato agli oltre 3000 ragazzi di Engim Veneto prima delle vacanze.

Il logo dell’ENGIM rappresenta, infatti, un mosaico in movimento che va a comporre una forma circolare secondo un progetto che resta da scoprire, ma che è abbozzato dalla disposizione delle stesse tessere. Il logo si collega al motto: E' TEMPO DI COSTRUIRE. Il tutto costituisce il messaggio rivolto agli allievi e agli operatori dell'ENGIM, che può essere così sintetizzato: “Giovane, è questo il tempo di costruire la tua personalità, la tua professionalità e la società nella quale ti stai inserendo, con una partecipazione attiva ed illuminata. Ogni giorno poni una tessera sul tuo mosaico, con costanza e fiducia in te stesso. Non sei venuto al mondo per caso, ma per assolvere una missione, che solo tu puoi adempiere”.

Spiega Alice, terzo anno del corso per Tecnico del Restauro di Beni culturali, sede di Cavazzale: “Il mosaico è incompiuto per poter poi costruire in un futuro prossimo… tutti noi insieme siamo un gruppo, in questo periodo così particolare che stiamo vivendo ci siamo resi conto di quanto sia importante collaborare, perchè ognuno di noi è indispensabile per creare un team efficiente”.

Anche le parole di papa Francesco, nell’ultima enciclica “Fratelli tutti”, ci invitano a costruire insieme un progetto comune, per passare dalla prospettiva dell’IO a quella del NOI, ricercando il valore della COMUNITA’ in cui coltivare il DIALOGO e L’AMICIZIA SOCIALE in una CULTURA DELL’INCONTRO dove “tutti compongono un’unità ricca di sfumature, perché il tutto è superiore alla parte”.

Che il logo-mosaico ENGIM ci aiuti a ricordare tutti i giorni questo importante messaggio!

Week Two: "Hope That Transforms: Young People in the Service of Life"

SAN FRANCISCO DE MOSTAZAL (CHILE) – During this Murialdo Month, our attention turns to Chile, where the Murialdo Family is coming together to experience days filled with formation, fellowship, and service. During this week, October 12–16, various educators from our schools, reception services, and social ministries are gathering and walking alongside young people from different Murialdo communities around the world, guided by the Murialdo Youth and Vocational Ministry. This year’s theme, “Hope That Transforms: Young People in the Service of Life,” calls us back to the heart of our mission: to be instruments of hope and promoters of life for young people. A central part of this journey is the visit to the religious community of Requínoa and the San José High School, places where the Murialdian charism continues to serve as a guiding light for the education and human and spiritual growth of the younger generations.

The “Square Kilometer of Charity” on the Path to UNESCO World Heritage Status: The Journey of Murialdo’s Legacy

In the heart of Turin, in an area spanning just a few hundred meters in the Valdocco neighborhood, beats an ancient and extraordinary heart. It was here, during the 19th century, that a remarkably high concentration of charitable works managed by Turin’s “Social Saints” took root—including our beloved founder St. Leonard Murialdo, St. John Bosco, St. Joseph Benedict Cottolengo, St. Joseph Cafasso, St. Joseph Allamano, and the Marquises Giulia and Tancredi di Barolo. A blessed area that history has christened the “Square Kilometer of Charity”, where concrete responses in the form of hospitality, education, and social redemption have forever transformed the lives of the poorest and the marginalized. On October 8, 2026, a step of fundamental importance was taken: the Memorandum of Understanding was formally signed, officially launching the process to nominate the “Square Kilometer of Charity” for inclusion on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Promoted by the Coordination Committee of the Social and Health Integration Area (which brings together the region’s historic charitable institutions), the agreement launches a rigorous phase of research, cataloging, and promotion of the priceless historical, archival, spiritual, and educational heritage preserved in these streets. Let us accompany this important institutional and cultural journey with our prayers and enthusiasm. The contribution of St. Leonard Murialdo, together with that of the other great witnesses to the faith in Turin—the “social saints”— represents a living source of charity that continues to form and educate younger generations throughout the world.

Father Ettore, a Witness to God’s Mercy: 25 Years of Remembrance and Gratitude

Twenty-five years after his passing, many of us gathered to remember Fr. Ettore, in the presence of Fr. Carmelo, the Provincial, and Fr. Giampiero Melaragni: on October 8 in Durrës for the Rosary at Casa Nazaret, where he lived and gave his life, and for the celebration of Mass presided over by the Archbishop of Tirana-Durrës, Monsignor Arjan Dodaj, at the Co-Cathedral of St. Lucy; on October 9 in Fier at the Parish of the Immaculate Conception, where the Apostolic Administrator of Southern Albania, Fr. Flavio Cavallin, presided over Mass; meanwhile, that morning, the young people from our Vocational Center also honored the memory of the Servant of God, and in the days that followed, the youth from the Oratory organized the 1st Father Ettore Trophy in various sports. (From the remarks by Provincial Father Carmelo Prestipino) As a family gathered around the Lord, let us give thanks to God for the gift of Father Ettore, a witness to God’s love for young people who are poor and in need of the Father’s infinite mercy. Dear Father Ettore, as we gather here, twenty-five years after your death, to thank the Lord for the gift of your witness and for that blood shed out of love—which united you to Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross—allows us not only to cherish with gratitude the memory of the life you gave, but also to take up the same path of love that you walked on behalf of young people, especially the poorest and most abandoned, whom you accompanied as a friend, brother, and father. We thank the Lord for the good that Father Ettore sowed: a good that was often humble and hidden, like that of Saint Joseph, which even today continues to sprout and bear the fruits of life in people’s hearts and in the history of this church community. Our thanks cannot remain merely words: may it become a journey, a service, a life given, and a concrete witness to God’s goodness. It is a thank-you that still resonates as a call today. The Lord continues to invite young people to follow Jesus and, like Father Ettore, to be witnesses to the Father’s merciful love: in the priesthood, in religious life, and in every vocation lived as a generous gift of self. Thank you and best wishes to all of us who, inspired by Fr. Ettore’s example, are walking the path toward holiness.
