The Province of St. Francis of Assisi in Brazil conducted its annual study week. The event took place at the S\u00e3o Francisco de Assis Retreat Center in Campo Largo, Paran\u00e1 State, Brazil. The purpose of the study week was to address urgent issues relevant to the life of the Province, as reflected in the deliberations of the Provincial Definitory.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On September 16, the week officially began with the celebration of Mass at 6:00 p.m. The entire study week was structured to address three main topics, to be covered over three days, supported by outside consultants, group discussions and plenary sessions.<br \/>\nOn Tuesday, September 17, the first day of discussions, the friars were guided by Father Fabiano DIAS PINTO of the Archdiocese of Curitiba, Paran\u00e1 State. He talked about the culture of preventing the abuse of minors and vulnerable persons, within the universal Church and the Order, as explained in the documents of the Church and the protocol of our Order.<br \/>\nOn the second day, Wednesday, September 18, the friars listened to a lecture by Adalto Luiz CHITOLINA. He currently works as a consultant in continuing formation for religious congregations and dioceses, with particular focus on psychology and spirituality. He addressed a very relevant topic for contemporary consecrated life: generational conflicts with an emphasis on the culture of caring for sick brothers and sisters, and the need to understand the challenges of old age.<br \/>\nFinally, on Thursday, September 19, the Minister Provincial, Friar Jos\u00e9 Hugo da Silva SANTOS, and his Definitory, led reflections on the creation of a new Jurisdiction, starting with the union of the Province of St. Francis in Brazil with the Provincial Custody of the Immaculate Conception of the B.V.M. in Brazil. This discussion was crucial for the future direction of the Province.<br \/>\nDuring the study week, there were also moments of great celebration. One was a Mass on September 17 at 7:30 p.m. to commemorate the 800th anniversary of St. Francis receiving the stigmata. The Mass was celebrated at the S\u00e3o Jo\u00e3o Batista Church in Curitiba. Another was a Mass of Remembrance celebrated on September 19, at 8:00 p.m. to honor our deceased confreres. The Mass was took place in the chapel of the S\u00e3o Francisco de Assis Retreat Center.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Friar Pac\u00edfico Alves SANTOS, Coordinator of the Provincial Communications Committee<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On September 16-20, 2024.
