was held this morning, Thursday, March 3, the penultimate session of the tenth diocesan council of priests who spoke about the popular Mission diocesan training for the clergy and standards for new speakers. Being due (this advisory body, also known as "Bishop of the Senate, is five years and will return to meet again on May 5) gave directions for its renewal (before May 5 should be shown already that seven representatives of the vicariates be joined by five members to be elected in June on the day of the Sacred Heart) and has taken leave of the vicar general Msgr. Lino Ferrari. As he himself stated, by March 14 will leave office next to the elected Vicar General Msgr. Joseph Illica April 3 and move to enter into his new parish of Castel San Giovanni.
this morning's session was presided over by Bishop. Gianni Ambrosio and was coordinated by Don Federico Tagliaferri.
At the opening there were the usual notices of the life of the diocese vicar general Msgr. Ferrari at the end Msgr. Joseph Busan, episcopal vicar for pastoral care, has updated the priests on the popular Mission, referring especially to the last session of the Diocesan Pastoral Council. On that occasion Bishop. Ambrosio has presented his "pastoral note, the subsidies were distributed per i tre ambiti (relazioni, fragilità e cittadinanza) ed è stato distribuito il libro delle “preghiere per benedire e invocare benedizione”, pubblicazione che potrà accompagnare anche le prossime benedizioni delle famiglie nelle singole parrocchie. A questo proposito mons. Busani ha illustrato le diverse note tecniche che gli interessati possono trovare nello specifico sito della Missione popolare, sito che può essere raggiunto partendo dal portale della diocesi: www.diocesipiacenzabobbio.org .
E’ stata poi la volta dell’intervento del Vescovo che ha esaminato un tema, già altre volte affrontato dal Consiglio presbiterale: la formazione del clero. Dopo pointing out that the training of the priest is indispensable, that is not isolated from his ministry, but is related to the same ministry, Msgr. Ambrosio then cited some papal documents.
The training of the clergy is an issue that is very dear to the Bishop, this has involved the council of priests because all you need to find some good practical suggestions to help us find ways and means supporting the implementation of this very the duty of every priest. "
Bishop Ambrosio asked some questions: what care is in place today for the training of priests in our church? what could be done to revitalize training? seen that our diocese is huge - it is very difficult to meet - you can think of some `half 'to overcome this (and other) problems: two / three / four days with some residential areas to be explored, connection via the Internet where possible, etc..)?
"The opportunities available to us - said the Bishop - are: the virtual withdrawal per month (which involved a good number of priests, including that held in the vicarage, the duration of the withdrawal is restricted to about two hours more - and it's a good thing - the fraternal agape); training sessions provided (about three a year, with a report and the ensuing debate): the participation is more limited, the duration is two hours (plus lunch); spiritual exercises (tiny): last year were held in Bedonia and Bellotto ( I hope we can continue this year), the Feast of the Sacred Heart, and the feast of St. Vincent and the Conference pastoral the celebration of the sacrament of reconciliation. "
Bishop Ambrose acknowledged that training opportunities are many in the diocese and its analysis also referred to the role of the documents of the Magisterium appropriate tool for the training of clergy and in particular has called three: "The post-synodal Apostolic Exhortation Verbum Domini, dated September 30, 2010 but later released on November 11, the National Eucharistic Congress to be held in Ancona in early September, the pastoral guidelines to educate the good life of the Gospel. It is the pastoral program of the Italian Church in this decade. "
on this indicator of the bishop, of course, expressed in a much more structured and documented, has developed an extensive debate whose contributions have stressed how important it is that, along with diocesan moments, are also those treated vicarage.
E 'was the turn of the criteria for the realization of new speakers: the council of priests had already been affected by this problem and asked for an additional discussion of the relationship between oratory as tree physical, educational and educators. These two aspects of the problem have been recalled by Fr Joseph Lusignan, director of cultural heritage and therefore responsible for funding and building design, and Don Paul Cignatta, director for youth ministry, and then involved in the activity of speakers. Both have drawn the main terms of the problem: the funding is to avoid interventions to rain and the whole issue, both for their contributions to those institutions as Cei private or outside the diocese, must pass through a single vision of the diocese. As noted by Don Paul Cignatta (the problem was also mentioned by Msgr. Ferrari) a draft of an oratory has always equate both the construction of both the educational (for many the latter takes precedence). In the debate showed that, beside the oratory, the structure used for the training of adults in the faith, must be kept in mind the need of classrooms for catechism (and this also calls into question the medium-sized parishes).
After the Council unanimously agreed that, in calling for the creation a new oratorio, the draft of a new building is always complemented by that of education, was also requested relevant offices to see if there is the possibility of allocating part of the funds also to the construction of eight per thousand of those speakers who have particular need for catechism, and then also cover the parishes of limited size.
