A parade of Philippine Dances
summit January 9th, 2009
Fr. Herbie Cañete gave a presentation of their community in Poland during the Friday afternoon session. He gave a history of Poland, the Rogationist houses there, their works in vocation promotion and the difficulties that they face. According to Fr. Herbie, being in another place is good as it opens you to various experiences, noting that the movement from Asia to Asia is a bit different from moving from Asia to Europe.
Then the province of Italy Center South also gave their presentation through Fr. Francesco Bruno, Fr. Michele Marinelli and Fr. Antonio Lueci. They told of the history of the Rogationist mission in Albania, the forms of apostolate they have in the area, their present situation, and the difficulties and challenges that the mission face.
Fr. Bruno said that they are reevaluating the presence of the congregation in Albania as there is so much need and the area is so large. He also added that they need to give a witness as a religious community, and to address the lack of attraction to vocation.
A dinner with the interns of the St. Anthony’s Boys village and a cultural presentation capped off the Friday activities. Participants were treated to a showcase of Philippine dances and songs. Check out the pictures!
