\n<\/strong>Meeting – Online Forum on New Evangelization<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nA New Evangelization? The Franciscan Contribution\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
\nI am writing this letter to invite and encourage you to participate in our first online meeting about the challenges that Franciscans face regarding the field of New Evangelization<\/strong> in the European context.<\/p>\n
\nSince the start of the current term, we have been particularly concerned, along with Friar Dariusz MAZUREK, the General Delegate for the SGAM, to implement Motion No. 1, which was approved by our last Ordinary General Chapter. Among other things, it states: \u201cCollecting and analyzing information on the state of our missions and on New Evangelization initiatives underway in our Order\u201d<\/em> (Motion No. 1, c).
\nTo offer our confreres even greater richness, we proposed this theme to the Assembly of the Ministers General of the First Order and the TOR. It is in this context that we have decided to jointly propose this first meeting, which can then mature into other areas of formation and collaboration.<\/p>\n
\nMinister General<\/em><\/p>\n
\n<\/em>Cardinal Mauro GAMBETTI, OFM Conv.,
\nArchpriest for the Papal Basilica of St. Peter in the Vatican (1 hour)<\/p>\n

\n<\/em>Professor Friar Bernardo MOLINA, OFM Cap.,
\na lecturer at the Antonianum<\/em> Pontifical University (1 hour)<\/p>\n
\nThe course will be conducted in Italian with simultaneous translation into English, French, Spanish, Polish and Croatian.
\nWe ask all Provincials, Custodes, Delegates and Guardians to encourage their friars to participate, and to provide, in advance, the technical means to facilitate their adequate participation.<\/p>\n
