1-10 August at the House of Retreat of the Carmelite Missionaries at Tagaytay in the Philippines.

Thirty-nine participants (including members and staff of the General House) from 11 countries gathered, including all the provincials and their councillors for mission, as well as sisters who are mainly involved in the field of education. The theme was ' The Path to Transformation through Education', which included learning, experiences and workshops to re-evaluate and adapt our mission based on Pope Francis' thoughts on education and the Economy of Francesco.

 

On February 2, 2024, the feast of the Presentation of the Lord, the religious profession of vows was held at the novitiate in Uganda. In the presence of the Superior General Emiliana and in the presence of sisters working in Africa, priests, and local people, during the Mass celebrated by Salesian Fr Pierre Celestine, two novices professed their first vows and rejoiced in the birth of the first African members of the Congregation.

 Congregation of Caritas Sisters of Jesus entered South Sudan in 2011, and the missionaries, along with the people, fled the civil war and lived a life of refuge in Uganda. While continuing their apostolate there, a house of formation was opened in Uganda in 2019 and began the formation for women who aspire to religious life.

 Please pray for our novices, postulants, and aspirants who are being trained as apostles of the love of Jesus' heart for mission, education, and welfare activities in Africa.

November 22, 2022 marks the 50th anniversary of the return to heaven of our founder, Fr Antonio Cavoli. To remember the legacy of his teachings and example, we are offering you this video, and wish you the grace to be able to live our mission with joy: that is to give witness to the merciful love of Christ (Caritas) to all, especially to the poor, the sick and the suffering.

The 25th Anniversary of the Establishment of Caritas Don Bosco School in the Philippines

On February 2, 2020, the Caritas Don Bosco School in the Philippines celebrated its 25th anniversary. The school had planned the opening events of 25th Anniversary for three days. But in support of those affected and suffered by the eruption of Taal Volcano, it was shortened to one day. The memorial Mass and the operetta, “Blind of Jericho”, which was prepared for a year, was performed. During the Mass, the choir and the brass band were played by the students and the operetta, which reflected the active creativity of students, was wonderful enough to be applauded by the audience. While feeling the motivation, strength, joy, and hope of our students, we thanked God for the past 25 years and prayed for further development.
