Gozo Via Sagra – Stella Maris – Malta
Last Sunday 12th March, students of Stella Maris College, Gzira along with some members of the school staff and a number of parents, decided to participate in a Via Sagra in Gozo. This event is held annually by the school as part and parcel of Lenten activities.
It happened to be a fantastic day with the bright sun shining and basking everything with its warm inviting light. It was a welcoming contrast after all the cold and rainy days.
Once we arrived in Gozo by the ferry from Cirkewwa, we headed to Rabat by coach. From there, the walk to Ta’ Pinu sanctuary, turned out to be a short and pleasant one which certainly got our feet working. As we got there we were in time for the 11’o clock mass.
After mass ended we had a short break, eating and chatting away, while some of us listened to music and others were busy preparing and going through the Via Sagra, which was to take place right afterwards.
Bravo au théâtre La Rochefoucauld !
L’émotion était palpable hier soir pour la dernière représentation de Dialogues des carmélites dans le théâtre de La Roche ! Nos acteurs en herbe ont été tout simplement sublimes.
Aucune hésitation, aucun tremblement n’est venu altérer leur jeu d’une justesse remarquable, incarnant avec naturel la force de ces carmélites qui, comme l’a rappelé Katy de Lyrot, avaient le jeune âge de nos élèves au moment des faits.
Incarnant tour à tour l’insouciance ou la gravité, le doute ou la confiance, magnifiés par leurs costumes et un jeu de lumières subtile donnant à nos carmélites des visages de Madone, nos élèves ont tous été très convaincants dans leurs rôles respectifs.
Chapeau bas à Madame de Lyrot et à Pierre Etienne Royer pour cette belle mise en scène, poignante. Plus d’un spectateur a senti son coeur se serrer hier au bruit du couperet…
Bravissimo !
RELEM Young Lasallian Council meeting in Rome – 10-12 March, 2017
The RELEM Young Lasallian Council (RYLC) has met at the Lasallian headquarters in Rome between Friday 10th to Sunday 12th March, 2017. Br. Bob Schaefer, Secretary for Formation for Mission, and Mr. Keane Palatino, Secretary for Association, supported the Council during this meeting. The Council would like to thank Mr. Lorenzo Cutore and Mrs. Cristina Cosa for their service on the RYLC and welcomed Ms.Claudia Dimiscã as she joined the team.
The RYLC agenda included the final preparations for the international course for young Lasallian professionals to be held at La Salle Pastoral Centre in Castletown in Ireland between 2nd to 9th August, 2017. This programme’s focus is Lasallian Spirituality in the 21st Century: One Call, Many Voices. The Council has also worked on the development of the formation programme for summer 2018 that will focus on the theme of the year, Lasallian without Limits, and possible initiatives for Lasallian Year of Vocations in summer 2019.
During this meeting, the RYLC also looked into strategies to strengthen its participation and support for the projects and initiatives of the International Young Lasallian Council (ICYL), especially the International Lasallian Days for Peace for 2017. This was also the first opportunity for the RELEM Young Lasallian Council to start reflecting on the Synod on Youth and the ways in which it might contribute to the Institute’s reflection on this important topic.
